Born in Treowen, Newbridge, Braddock attended Greenfield Secondary Modern School and played his earliest rugby with Trinant, before joining Newbridge RFC. He earned representative honours in 1964 with a Combined Abertillery-Newbridge side that earned a draw against Fiji. Capped three times by Wales, Braddock made his debut against the Wallabies in 1966, forming a back row with Alun Pask and Haydn Morgan. He made two Five Nations Championship appearances the following year, against Scotland and Ireland, then found himself replaced by Ron Jones.^[1]

Braddock, who started his working life as a coal miner, had many years with the Staffordshire Police force, after relocating to England during the late 1960s. He was heavily involved in police rugby.^[2][3]
