A towering figure between the sticks, Sutton-born Louis began his scholarship in June 2023. 

Like many of his first-year scholars, Brady jumped up to higher age groups prior to joining up with Downing's U18s - featuring on the bench in the U18 Premier League and with the U21s in the Birmingham Senior Cup. 

Louis gained important international experience during the 23/24 campaign after representing the Republic of Ireland's U19s during the March international break in 2024.

Albion's academy has several examples of its goalkeeping production line, with Brady making important steps in his quest to become one of them after a regular role in the 18s team over the 24/25 season. It was a term which saw the shot-stopper play plenty of football, learn valuable lessons, and achieve some eye-catching feats after playing his part between the sticks in Albion's FA Youth Cup quarter-final run.
