Craig Braham-Barrett is an English-born footballer who plays as a defender for AFC Whyteleafe and represents Montserrat at international level.

Born on 28 June 1988 in Greenwich, England, Braham-Barrett began his career in the youth system at Charlton Athletic, later spending time with Sheffield Wednesday. He left Charlton in 2007 and spent the next years in non-league football with clubs such as Eastleigh, East Thurrock United, and Welling United, before moving to Peterborough United in 2008 for around £10,000. He didn’t break into the first team at Peterborough and continued his career in non-league football with teams including Grays Athletic, Farnborough, Havant & Waterlooville, and Sutton United.

In 2012 he joined Macclesfield Town, then Cheltenham Town on loan in 2013, with the move made permanent later that year. After Cheltenham were relegated from the Football League in 2015, Braham-Barrett signed for Ebbsfleet United and had successive loan spells at Woking and Whitehawk, followed by a permanent move to Dover Athletic in 2016. He also had spells with Welling United, Chelmsford City, Hemel Hempstead Town, Dartford, Tonbridge Angels, and Dulwich Hamlet, before joining AFC Whyteleafe in 2024.

Internationally, Braham-Barrett is eligible for Jamaica and Montserrat through his heritage and family. In 2015 he was called up to Montserrat’s squad for a World Cup qualifier but declined to focus on club football. He later accepted a call-up in August 2018 and earned his debut for Montserrat by playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to El Salvador in September 2018. He has since earned around 27 caps for Montserrat.

Over his career, Braham-Barrett has made close to 500 club appearances and scored a handful of goals. He is known as a solid defender who has spent most of his career in the lower divisions of English football.
