Brison was named the Indian Super League’s Emerging Player of the Year after the 2024-25 season. From featuring in Goa’s Under-18 team to being an outright starter, it has been quite a rise for Brison.
Brison has managed to impress with his dribbling and shooting capability, scoring seven goals and assisting twice. The 23-year-old created 27 chances for the Gaurs and provided 25 key passes into the final third in the last ISL season. With his direct play, the left-winger emerged as one of the most exciting young Indian players to watch this season.
FC Goa and former Indian national team head coach Manolo Marquez was all praise for his midfielder saying, “I’ve always said he’s one of the best players I’ve coached in my five years in India.”
