Club
Bracken chose Barnet Rugby Club as his first club. He joined Saracens aged fourteen, and progressed through the age groups and made his senior debut in the Premiership Rugby Cup against Wasps RFC in March 2022. Bracken is now in the senior academy at Saracens, occasionally playing first team games.

International
In February 2022 Bracken was called up to a England under-18 training camp held in Bisham Abbey. The following month saw him score a try against Wales under-18 at Taunton.

In the summer of 2022 Bracken made four appearances for the England U20 team. He was included in the squad for the 2023 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and footage of Bracken giving away his shirt to a young fan at the conclusion of the opening round clash between England and Scotland was reported as going viral. Later that year he was a member of the side that finished fourth at the 2023 World Rugby U20 Championship and scored his only try of the tournament in a pool stage draw with Australia.

Personal life
The son of former England rugby Union international Kyran Bracken and his wife Victoria, Charlie has two younger brothers Jack and Lachlan. They were brought up in Hadley Wood. He completed his A-levels at St. Albans School and then attended Loughborough University.
