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>","09702F2B27619389F07D77F05427B135":"2021-1-1","0A9B0394F31973591937C38F2F471911":"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","9EBD0BFF9766B31DEF99430639A2F292":"Mamelodi Sundowns","2B5572269355781B0007104B7181FA88":"1987-10-7","82CBDCB828DBDF896209A361CA981BCF":"","FA149E2002A43ED77C24C62CDFF094A5":"0","A7F9B63E25A659E5":"Jeremy Russell Brockie","8DC362CCE065919BCF40467C0DE6A7E8":"New Zealand international - (5 caps)","0C852134AA40B2DD":"1","A16D5E6475634BB126EF698FB3550B8C":"0","0FCC2F07B9D0EBFD":"Bentleigh Greens","C6E00DEB351621C4":"44657","5E8F53D0A504BF86":"Jeremy Russell Brockie","e_index":1};
