[edit] Career

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]

Brighton moved to Millwall in June 2006.^[5] His time at Millwall has been disrupted by several injuries.^[6]

On May 8 2008 it was announced that Brighton had signed a pre-contract with St. Mirren, in a deal which will see him at the Paisley club until the summer of 2010 ^[7]
