Alex Jason Brosque (born October 12, 1983 in Sydney ) is a former Australian football player .
Club career
Brosque, whose parents are from Uruguay , started his career at the NSL club Marconi Stallions in 2001 after his time at the Australian Institute of Sport . Until the league was closed in 2004, he scored 13 goals in 53 games. In 2003 and 2004 he was awarded the Papasavas Medal as the best young player (U-21). He then received an offer from the Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam and was immediately awarded to the Belgian club KVC Westerlo . At Westerlo, among other things, he only made 16 missions due to an ankle injury and scored two hits. In 2005 he returned to Australia, where a new league format was established with the professional league A-League .
He signed a contract with the Queensland Roar , with whom he could not qualify for the finals despite eight goals this season, which were enough for the title of top scorer. For the 2006/07 season he moved to reigning champions Sydney FC , who have not been able to repeat this success since then. Brosque is considered a very disinterested striker, for example he occupied top positions within the league in the statistics of goal assists in the 2005/06 and 2008/09 seasons. Also when winning the championship in the 2009/10 season , Brosque was one of Sydney's top performers with six goals and seven assists.
In January 2011, Brosque moved to the Japanese club Shimizu S-Pulse for the fixed transfer fee of A $ 400,000 . The change took place under controversial circumstances because Brosque had already signed a new three-year contract with Sydney on July 1, 2010, valid from April 1, 2011. In his expiring contract, however, there was an exit clause that was used by Shimizu. In addition, it is questionable whether the Shimizu would have been allowed to negotiate with the player without Sydney's consent in view of the contractual relationship; according to FIFA regulations, this may only be done with players with less than six months of remaining contract. Sydney wanted to have the transfer process checked by FIFA .
Two seasons later, he joined the al Ain Club in the UAE and celebrated the championship and the cup win there. For the 2014/15 season he moved again to Sydney FC , where he ended his active career in the summer of 2019. During this time he won the national championship of Australia twice .
National team
Brosque stormed alongside Scott McDonald for the Australian U-20 selection at the 2003 Junior World Cup and was one of the top performers of his team there with one goal and three assists. In the summer of 2004 he took part with the Olympic selection at the Olympic Games in Greece and reached the quarter-finals with the team.
He came to a total of 21 appearances in the Australian senior team between 2004 and 2013 , in which he scored six goals. In the 2nd round of the OFC Nations Cup 2004 , Brosque made his debut against the Fischi Islands on June 2, 2004 and came to two more appearances in the next four days.
