He played non-league football for several years before joining Arsenal in 2017. He spent the 2017–18 season on loan to Birmingham City of the Championship.

He began his career in non-League football in his local area, with Kidsgrove Athletic, Alsager Town, Nantwich Town, Market Drayton Townwith whom he won the 2015–16 Shropshire Premier Cup in his second spell at the cluband Newcastle Town. In May 2016, he moved to Northern Premier League Premier Division club Hednesford Town. He played on a part-time basis while working at a Bentley car factory.

Bramall was first offered a trial with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday, appearing with their under-23 side in a match. Crystal Palace of the Premier League were also interested in signing him.

Arsenal After a short trial, Bramall signed professional forms with Premier League club Arsenal on 9 January 2017. The fee was officially undisclosed, but was widely reported as around £40,000. He spent the remainder of the season playing for the club's under-23 side. In July, Bramall joined the first-team squad for Arsenal's pre-season tour of Australia and China, making his senior debut in a friendly against A-League side Sydney FC.

On 21 August 2017, Bramall and Arsenal teammate Carl Jenkinson were loaned to Championship club Birmingham City until the end of the season. On Bramall's return to Arsenal, he played three times for their under-21 team in the 2018–19 EFL Trophy, and the club confirmed he would be released when his contract expired at the end of the season.

Birmingham City (loan) Bramall made his senior professional debut the next day in Birmingham's starting eleven for their EFL Cup match against Bournemouth. He played 78 minutes in a 2–1 defeat. He made his first Football League appearance in Birmingham's next match, playing the whole of a 2–0 defeat at home to Reading. That was his last appearance until December, when, with central defenders Harlee Dean suspended and Marc Roberts injured, he started at left wing-back in a 1–0 loss away to Fulham.

Despite speculation that the loan might be cut short in the January transfer window, he remained at the club, and returned to the league team on 3 February, as a substitute for the injured Jonathan Grounds in a 3–1 win away to Sheffield Wednesday. He was involved in an incident for which Wednesday's Marco Matias was sent off for violent conduct.
