Bright Arrey-Mbi, born on 26 March 2003 (age 23), is a German central defender with SC Braga. His early senior football came in Bayern München’s second team, where he made 15 league appearances in 2020-2021, the clearest first-team run of his early career.

He has since moved on to Braga, where he remains part of the senior picture in 2026-2027.

Arrey-Mbi's career has moved through Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Cologne, Hannover 96 and SC Braga. The path is one of early academy movement, loan steps into senior football and then a permanent move to Portugal. At 23, he is still in the development phase, but his €6.00m market value and Braga contract place him beyond the prospect-only category.
