Playing career

Ipswich Town

Born in Ipswich, Suffolk, Bramble started his career at home town club Ipswich Town. After making his debut in the 1998–99 season, Bramble went on to make 48 league appearances for the club, spending a brief period on loan at Colchester United over the 1999–2000 season. He scored four goals for Ipswich, with strikes against Sunderland in the league, Millwall and Coventry in the League Cup and Torpedo Moscow in the UEFA Cup.

Newcastle United

Bramble joined Newcastle in July 2002 for £6 million following Ipswich's relegation from the Premier League, vowing at the time to make himself indispensable to then manager Sir Bobby Robson. At the end of the 2003–04 season, readers of the football e-mail newsletter The Fiver voted Bramble as the worst player of the year in the Premier League. Bramble scored a volley against league champions Chelsea on 8 May 2006 that secured qualification for the Intertoto Cup. On 10 August 2006, Bramble scored another vital goal for Newcastle in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round with a header against Latvian side FK Ventspils. In December, Bramble was admitted into hospital after his injured calf swelled to double its normal size. On 31 January 2007, Bramble returned to action against Aston Villa in the centre of defence alongside Steven Taylor.

Coaching career

Bramble was appointed Under-11 coach at Ipswich Town. In November 2014, he said it was a "disgrace" to apply the "Rooney Rule" to English football for compulsory ethnic minority management candidate consideration.
