Born in Bussolengo, the Province of Verona, Brighenti started his career at A.C. ChievoVerona. In mid-2008, he left for Seconda Divisione side Mezzocorona along with keeper Renato Piovezan and forward Diego Reis. On 26 June 2009, few days before the closure of 2008–09 fiscal year on 30 June 2009, he was sold to Serie B team Triestina along with Amedeo Calliari, in co-ownership deal for undisclosed fees. In exchange, Marcello Cottafava and Dario D'Ambrosio moved to Chievo, also in co-ownership deal.[1] However, Cottafava and D'Ambrosio were loaned back to Triestina in July, co-currently Brighenti and Calliari loaned to Prima Divisione sides Pergocrema[2] and Lumezzane respectively. He only played 4 times and in January 2010 (which in 2009–10 fiscal year) returned to Chievo and D'Ambrosio returned to Triestina in exchange. In August Cottafava and Calliari also returned to his original clubs respectively (in 2010–11 fiscal year).
On 31 August 2010 he was loaned to Prima Divisione side Viareggio with option to purchase half of the registration rights.[3] He became the starting right-back after Sergio Carnesalini left the club on 10 January 2011. He was suspended once, in round 23.[4] He also played twice in the cup.[5][6]
On 23 June 2011 Viareggio signed him in another co-ownership deal, and signed a contract until 20 June 2013.[7]
Brighenti was in the squad of 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup but pulled out due to injury,[8] and replaced by Matteo Bruscagin. He also played twice in 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification.
