On 13 July 2018 former England manager Hope Powell signed Brazil for Brighton stating: "Ellie has already gained valuable experience playing in both England and Italy's top division."

In November 2019 Brazil suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which ruled her out for at least the rest of the 2019–20 FA WSL season. She returned to the matchday squad on 18 October 2020 for the game against Everton and returned to the field for the last 31 minutes of the game against Tottenham on 6 December the same year.
