Career

Brey was born in Lomas de Zamora. His first experience as goalkeeper was in his home-town club Club Olimpia, where he played during his childhood.[1] At the age of 10, Brey arrived in Los Andes playing as defender. The club released him soon after. Brey asked Los Andes to try as goalkeeper, being accepted again by the club. Brey continued his career in the youth divisions of Los Andes until his debut in the senior squad in March 2021 vs Argentino de Quilmes, when he replaced Federico Díaz who had been sent off.[2] Since then, Brey was the starting goalkeeper for Los Andes, which ended the season being the team with less goals conceded (20).[1]

In February 2022 Brey was transferred to Boca Juniors for US$450,000 as the third goalkeeper behind Agustín Rossi and Javier García. Since then, Brey has been the frequent goalkeeper for Boca Juniors' reserve team.[1]

Brey debuted in the senior squad on 12 April, in the 2022 Copa Libertadores match vs Bolivian side Always Ready. Brey substituted the injured Agustín Rossi after 45 minutes. Boca won the match 2–0.[3][1]
