Career

Born in Cramlington, Northumberland, Brittain started his career at Newcastle United as a youngster. Brittain made his debut for Newcastle on 3 March 2004 as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Vålerenga in the UEFA Cup.[1] He made his league debut, again as a substitute, on 1 May 2004 in a 1-0 defeat at Manchester City.[2] His first start came on 7 January 2006 against Mansfield Town in the FA Cup, starting on the wide right of midfield in the game that Newcastle won 1-0. That game saw club striker Alan Shearer equal Jackie Milburn's goal scoring record, with Shearer grabbing his 200th goal for Newcastle.[3] Brittain wasn't offered a new contract at Newcastle at the end of the 2005–06 season. He subsequently and had trials with Brighton & Hove Albion and Kilmarnock until having a successful trial with Ipswich Town. On 21 August 2006, he signed a one year deal with Ipswich and then was loaned out to Yeovil Town.

Brittain was told he is surplus to requirements at Portman Road and he was released in May 2007. He joined Carlisle United on a week-long trial in July 2007[4] and after this trial period, Brittain joined the Brunton Park club on a monthly contract.[5] After his first month at Carlisle, Brittain was released from his contract, playing just twice.[6] He trialed at Scunthorpe United and eventually signed for Walsall.[7][8]

In March 2008, Brittain joined Major League Soccer side Toronto FC on a trial, scoring a penalty in a 4-3 friendly loss to Houston Dynamo.[9] However, he failed to earn himself a contract with the club. On 5 August 2008, he signed a one-year contract with Conference National side Kidderminster.

On 26 June 2009, Brittain joined Gateshead,[10] making his debut against Histon on 8 August.[11] Brittain scored his first goals for the club against Crawley Town on 22 August.[12]

Brittain was seriously injured playing for Gateshead against Hayes & Yeading United on 5 September 2009. Brittain broke both his tibia and fibula. The game was abandoned after a 40-minute delay to treat the injury as Brittain's teammates refused to restart the game due to the shock of seeing the severity of the injury.[13] At the time of the injury, the score was 0-0 with 14 minutes left to play. The Football Conference awarded one point to each team with Gateshead's point deducted for "failing to fulfil an engagement".[14] Brittain returned to action on 8 July 2010, scoring the opening goal in a 3-2 defeat against a Middlesbrough XI in a behind closed doors friendly.[15]
