Brighton began his career at Rangers, where he played only 1 game, before going to Scunthorpe United for a short loan spell.^[1] He was released from his contract with the Gers in June 2005.^[2]

He was then recruited by Clyde in Summer 2005, and made his debut on the opening league game against Ross County.^[3] Brighton was voted Man of the Match in Clyde's Scottish Cup shock win over Celtic. He left Clyde in 2006 after manager Graham Roberts was accused of racist remarks during a pre-season tour of Canada.^[4]
