“The Nolens have been like a second family for me,” Bryan told racing.com.
“But with that, I think I got a bit comfortable, my riding wasn’t improving as much as I would’ve liked and I wasn’t getting much further in my career.
“I gave Luke Nolen a call, we spoke about it over a few weeks and he said that he’d ask around a bit and see whether there was a trainer that might be a good fit.
“I’m really going to put my head down, concentrate and get as much out of this as I can.”

The 22-year-old made the move to Cranbourne last month, with Kent’s stable producing several top-line apprentices over the years.
“I’m really enjoying it,” Bryan said. “I wasn’t sure how I’d handle the move from little old Benalla but it’s been really good.”
Bryan has 56 career wins to her name, with most of her success coming north of the Victoria-NSW border.
