A FULL international with Australia, Brad has had to wait patiently for first team chances because of the form of compatriot Mark Schwarzer. 

Formerly with Bayswater in his native West Australia, he unexpectedly found himself on the bench for the first team for the trip to Fulham in January 2002.

Although he didn't actually see first team action, he retained his place among the subs for a further four games, showing the faith goalkeeping coach Paul Barron and manager Steve McClaren have in his ability.  

During the 2003-04 season he was a regular fixture on the bench in the absence of regular reserve Carlo Nash through injury.

He made his first team debut in a 2-0 FA Cup win over Notts County in January 2004, retaining his place for the 2-1 league win over Fulham before Mark Schwarzer recovered fitness and reclaimed the goalkeeper's jersey.

Tall and agile, Brad was a a member of the Boro side which reached the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup in 2000 before losing out to eventual winners Arsenal.

Represented Australia's U20 side in the East Asia Games in Osaka in May 2001 and is expected to play a major part in the team for the 2004 Olympics.

Brad spent the early part of the 2004-05 season on loan at Blackpool, making 12 appearances in his second loan spell at Bloomfield Road.                  

He returned to Boro and was thrust into the first team spotlight for the home game with Arsenal when Mark Schwarzer suffered a back spasm during the warm up.

He again deputised for Schwarzer towards the end of the 2005/06 campaign after the club's senior goalkeeper suffered a serious facial injury in a clash with West Ham's Dean Ashton in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park.  

He was rewarded with his persistance by winning his first international cap during Australia's 1-1 draw with Uruguay.
