Brierley was born in Rochdale.[2]
Having supported Rochdale from the age of three and progressed through the club's academy,[3] Brierley was named on Rochdale's bench for a FA Cup match against Newcastle United in January 2020, at the age of 15. Because of his age, Brierley had to get changed separately to the rest of Rochdale's first team.[4] He made his professional debut for Rochdale on 5 September 2020 in a 1–0 EFL Cup victory away to Huddersfield Town.[5] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 26 November 2020, having turned 17 earlier that week.[6] On 24 March 2022, Brierley joined National League North side Spennymoor Town on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[7] On 29 April 2022, Brierley was recalled from this loan spell by parent club Rochdale.[8]
