His team won 6–0 against Nantwich Town. He played his first league game on 28 April 2012. It was a 2–1 win against Rochdale. Brendan scored his first goal for the club on 9 November 2013.

Moving to Everton

Even though he usually played as a centre-back, he played as a left-back in this game. He made his first home start for Everton against Tottenham Hotspur.
At the start of the 2015–16 season, Brendan got more chances to play. Everton's regular left-back was injured. Brendan started the match against Watford. On 10 December 2015, Brendan signed a new contract with Everton. This contract kept him at the club until at least June 2020.
