Club career edit
Britto began his career at Lincoln Red Imps, breaking through at the age of 15. In January 2017, he joined Europa Point on loan along with 4 other players including Jaron Vinet and Tjay De Barr, to gain experienced at the newly promoted side.[4] However, despite scoring twice in 11 games he was unable to prevent the side's relegation and returned to Lincoln at the end of the season. In summer 2018, he moved to Mons Calpe in order to gain more first team football, but again returned to Lincoln the next summer amidst financial problems for the Calpeans.[5] Despite limited opportunities, Britto still impressed and earned a trial at UD Las Palmas alongside Julian Del Rio in February 2020.[6]
International career edit
Britto made his international debut for Gibraltar on 13 October 2018, coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute for Andrew Hernandez in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D match against Armenia.[7] The match finished as a 1–0 away win for Gibraltar, their first ever competitive victory.[8]
