Club Career
In his first professional season, 1929, Brady was the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership's top try-scorer with 11 tries.
A year later, Brady was the star of the first rugby league grand final ever played in Australia, scoring 3 tries in the match that gave the Magpies their first premiership success. Four years later, he was a member of the club's second grand final win when they defeated the Roosters 15-12. He scored 71 tries in his time with the Magpies, at the time a club record, later eclipsed by Peter Dimond.
Joining the recently-formed Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs in 1936, Brady captain-coached Canterbury to victory in the 1938 grand final, giving him the rare achievement of playing in the first premiership victory for two different clubs. He was coach of the Canterbury side that lost the 1940 grand final.
