After starting out primarily as a striker, Brockie is now mostly utilised on the flanks though mostly in an attacking role. Like a number of young team-mates in the national team set-up, Brockie's career commenced with a flourish, and after a period in the wilderness, his career appears firmly back on track. Two years out of professional football came to an end after signing with new Australian A-League club North Queensland Fury last year, where Brockie played alongside Liverpool great Robbie Fowler.<\/P>
Brockie's return to the A-League was aided by a prolific goalscoring run with New Zealand's U-23 team which culminated in Brockie scoring New Zealand's only goal of at Beijing 2008, against host-nation China.<\/P>
As an 18-year-old Brockie was one of the most impressive youngsters in the A-League's inaugural season bursting on the scene by scoring a number of goals for New Zealand Knights. Quickly snapped up by glamour club Sydney FC, Brockie never settled and returned to the New Zealand domestic competition.<\/P>
After debuting for the national team in 2006, the powerfully-built Brockie is settling back to the senior national team environment playing in two of the All Whites six FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers.<\/P>
After a disappointing starting appearance against Spain at the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009, Brockie bounced back with a solid performance against Iraq. However his most recent domestic season was again hit by injury with the 22-year-old enduring a race against time to be fit for South Africa 2010 after suffering a fractured tibia in January playing for North Queensland. He has since departed the Fury to link with fellow A-League outfit Newcastle Jets.<\/P>","A3B3C821F4815DD2":"44657","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Jeremy Russell Brockie","05B90AE4F21571952008D48326AE77E3":"10","F14A25307A7B90F34DF7D46459F247E0":"1987-10-7","229187823D238BA5":"13115","165A9E64AAEECF0376C325C4F36A5C95":"0","165A9E64AAEECF036C1B6B6A72794204F7BF560594F29F16":"1","584B722087373EED7A432DDE0763CE35":"0","D91AFD3F8E13D94664CE2C04A1143112":"Mamelodi Sundowns,Maritzburg United,Supersport United,Wellington Phoenix,Toronto FC[on loan],Newcastle Jets FC,Team Wellington,Richmond SC,Sydney FC,New Zealand Knights FC,Canterbury United","AA81248D0821D00F0BA9BCB533E2881F":"Mamelodi Sundowns","519F480A5D95AABEE231AFCBBAB20A94":"","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","F849A024F3C8AF1B2C4A709B4C92BB0F":"2021-1-1","9B962DAE9CDB1287":"80kg","56D1193A280251FE":"Jeremy Russell Brockie","CDD05FD46E6F78B9FEABD05EFFA7F762":"New Zealand international - (5 caps)","80071F80C4550E7F":"182cm","D91FA56861637784":"Bentleigh Greens","e_index":3};
