The 18-year-old is off to the Canberra Raiders after signing a two-year deal.
The Brothers junior will move to the nation’s capital after his finishes his HSC in November and can’t wait for the opportunity to take his game to the next level as part of the National Youth Competition squad.
“It is a great club and I am looking forward to getting over there and giving it my best,” Bramich said.
“Ever since I started playing rugby league at the age of seven I have always wanted to play in the NRL.
“It is a great opportunity to get into their (Canberra’s) system and experience what they have to offer.”
While Bramich wasn’t given the chance to test himself in first grade for Brothers this season, he came under the notice of NRL clubs after some strong representative performances.
The fullback scored four tries during one of his games in the Country tour to Western Australia.
The 18-year-old said that was one of the highlights of his season.
“I was pretty happy with the four tries and it was a great experience over in Perth,” Bramich said.
“Country was a great experience.”
Bramich is hoping to combine with sports studies at the University of Canberra but for now his focus is on extending his season in the Weissel Cup.
After a big win on Saturday, Brothers will tackle Tumut in the minor semi-final at Loftus Oval.
