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>","B6B40535701B4CD0DB864915DEF06E2A":"New Zealand international - (5 caps)","44815DEA11FB577D5BF802155ED45F52BF89EAE80D401A5B":"1","4FB95329DB27F065AB688F47FF3E7436":"2021-1-1","185D9308B7C9E0BBE486C613A62D93FE":"0","5BB437CAF240E475":"80kg","EBC62A89E472008E22ACFCF9251EA2ED":"","1A49EE26E6AAD5C64FC6A19EFDD00C1A":"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","12F030D6FCEE9D12":"44657","BE541FF326E82F6A":"Bentleigh Greens","C3DE130B7D4AB7DB":"Jeremy Russell Brockie","FD159EB5937AD12F4B2E9E75B80D3D16":"South Africa,New Zealand","e_index":5};
