[edit] Club career

[edit] Blackburn Rovers

Broomes started his career as a trainee at Blackburn Rovers. He was signed up by then Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish on 1 August 1994, but at first he couldn't break into a strong first team at Ewood Park. On 22 January 1997 he was loaned out to Swindon Town where he made twelve appearances and scored once in a two month loan spell.

In the 1997–98 season new Rovers manager Roy Hodgson gave the defender four appearances in the first team. In the following two years he made twenty-six appearances. In the 2000–01 season, he was loaned out again, this time to Queens Park Rangers in October 2000 where he made five appearances in a one month loan spell. After falling out of favour under new manager Graham Souness, on 7 September 2001 he was loaned out to Grimsby Town for three months,[2] where he played eighteen times and scored in a 2–1 away win over holders Liverpool in the League Cup. He then returned to Blackburn and following their promotion back to the Premier League in the 2001–02 season, Broomes was released on a free transfer on 12 December 2001.

[edit] Sheffield Wednesday

Broomes signed for Sheffield Wednesday, who at the time were in the First Division, on 13 December 2001.[3] At Wednesday he made 18 league appearances, scoring one goal, but was released at the end of the 2001-02 season.

[edit] Preston North End

Broomes then spent most of the pre-season at Championship club Burnley. However, on 7 August 2002 he signed for Lancashire rivals and fellow Championship club, Preston North End. Manager Craig Brown was impressed with Broomes and signed him on a three year contract.[4] He played sixty-nine league games for the club in a three year spell.

[edit] Stoke City

In August 2005, he signed a three year contract with fellow Championship club, Stoke City in a swap deal which involved Lewis Neal moving from Stoke to Preston.[5] Broomes played in forty-one games, mainly at full-back, not his natural position, and scored twice as the club finished in 13th place in the 2005–06 season.

He ruptured his achilles tendon prior to the start of the 2006–07 season and spent the entire season on the sidelines as a result. He played his first game for over twelve months on 10 August 2007 in a 1–0 friendly win against Alsager Town.[6] However, he made no appearances in the 2007–08 season and following the clubs promotion to the Premier League, he was released by the club at the end of the season.[7]

[edit] Blackpool

On 4 June 2008, Broomes agreed to join Championship club Blackpool. He will join them officially on 1 July[8] on a twelve-month contract with an option for a further year.[1]

[edit] International career

Broomes played for the England under-19's.[2] He was called up into the England-under-21 setup in the 1997-98 season. He played twice for the Under 21's. He took part in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.
