Playing Style Profiles
Bryan is a left-sided defender who has quietly built one of the Championship's most complete pressing-and-progressing profiles from a position most clubs treat as purely functional. His interceptions sit in the top 5% of the division, and his passes into the final third rank equally high—a combination that signals genuine tactical intelligence rather than accidental involvement.
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.4 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.3 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), central to possession (72 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
