Bravo was born in Madrid, and finished his formation with Real Madrid. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 13 May 2012, starting in a 2–3 Tercera División home loss against CF Trival Valderas.[citation needed]

Bravo continued to appear in the fourth division the following six campaigns, representing CDC Moscardó, AD Parla, Internacional de Madrid,[1] CD Móstoles URJC[2] and UB Conquense.[3] On 6 August 2018, after a period on trial at CF Rayo Majadahonda, he signed for AD Unión Adarve in Segunda División B.[4]

On 28 December 2018, Bravo joined SD Ponferradina still in the third division.[5] He contributed with five goals in 17 appearances for the club during the campaign, helping in their return to Segunda División after three years.[citation needed]

Bravo made his professional debut on 25 August 2019, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Real Zaragoza.[6] The following 18 February, he was loaned to CF Rayo Majadahonda until the end of the season, as a cover to injured Iago Díaz.[7]

On 5 October 2020, Bravo terminated his contract with Ponfe,[8] and agreed to a contract with third tier side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa just hours later.[9] In July 2021, Bravo joined Real Unión on a two-year deal with an option for a third year.[10]
