Brasero began her senior career at Ipswich Town, where she developed through the youth system and made 23 appearances in the FA Women’s National League South, scoring five goals.
She then made the step up to the Women’s Championship with Lewes, playing 17 times during the 2023/24 season. Most recently, she impressed in Portugal’s top tier with GD Estoril Praia, netting five goals in 17 league games during the 2024/25 campaign.
“It feels great to be joining such an ambitious club," Brasero told whufc.com. "I’ve had some great conversations with [manager] Rehanne [Skinner] already.
"She’s a manager that likes to develop young players, and as a young player with a lot of ambition, that’s exactly what I’m looking for at this stage in my career.
"I’ve got plenty of experience from my time with Lewes and Ipswich, as well as playing in Portugal last season which brought me out of my comfort zone and challenged me both on and off the pitch.
"Now I’m ready to take the next step on my journey and to play in the best league in the world. I can’t wait to get started."
The transfer to West Ham has been completed for an undisclosed fee, likely a free transfer or a nominal amount.
Brasero's versatility, energy, and international experience make her a strong fit for the Hammers’ rebuilding squad as they look to climb the WSL table this season.
