a trial with Walsall, where he impressed enough to earn a permanent contract with the club. Brandy made his debut for Walsall as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1–0 win over Brentford in the first round of League Cup. He then came on for Jamie Paterson in the opening match of the league season, a 3–0 loss against Doncaster Rovers. After the match, Brandy suffered a hamstring injury that saw him sidelined for a month. Brandy made his return from injury, coming on as a late substitute, in a 2–1 win over AFC Bournemouth on 29 September 2012. After making a slow start without scoring, Brandy finally scored his first goal for the club (and his first goal in English Football since late-2009) in a 2–2 draw against Crawley Town on 17 November 2012. Brandy continued to impress the club when he made a double assist for Jamie Paterson and Will Grigg in a 2–2 draw against Yeovil Town on 15 December 2012.
