Jeremy Russell Brockie (born 7 October 1987 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a New Zealand football (soccer) player who plays for the Newcastle Jets in the Hyundai A-League. He has represented New Zealand at senior international level and at the Olympic Games.

Club career

Brockie started his youth football for Richmond Athletic and his senior career at Matson's Premier Football League side Nelson Suburbs before going on to play for Canterbury United in the 2004-05 season of the New Zealand Football Championship.

He was one of the few shining lights for the New Zealand Knights in their debut A-League season, scoring four competition goals from nine starts. His first goals in the A-League were a double against Newcastle at North Harbour Stadium. Brockie also scored a last minute goal against Sydney FC to earn the Knights a point, with his fourth goal coming in his sides final regular season fixture against the Melbourne Victory at Olympic Park in Melbourne. Brockie ended up being joint top goalscorer for the New Zealand club along with Simon Yeo.

On 17 March 2006, the New Zealand Knights announced that Brockie had decided to leave the club and join Sydney FC on a two-year contract. Brockie failed to find a regular place in Terry Butcher's first team, included in the starting line-up just twice and figuring in only seven matches of the A-League season. Despite being named in the Sydney FC squad for the AFC Champions League, Brockie was released early from his contract on 6 March 2007 for personal reasons. In July 2007 Jeremy signed for Hawke's Bay in the NZFC, and later for Team Wellington.

In 2009 Brockie signed for new A-League expansion club North Queensland Fury for 2009-10 season. He debuted for the Fury on 17 October 2009, starting in a 1-1 draw at home against the Wellington Phoenix. Brockie scored his first goal on 9 January against Central Coast Mariners. Brockie signed for the Newcastle Jets on 30 March 2010, on a two-year contract.

International career

After the 2007-08 season, Brockie moved to Wellington to base himself with the majority of the New Zealand national under-23 football team in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics, playing his winter season with Miramar Rangers. He has since remained in Wellington, signing for Team Wellington for the 2008-09 season.

In January 2006, he received his first call-up for the All Whites, the New Zealand national team, for the series against Malaysia in February 2006. On 19 February 2006, Brockie made his international debut, coming on as a substitute and playing the last twenty minutes of New Zealand's 1-0 win over Malaysia at Christchurch's QE II Stadium. On the 2006 All Whites tour of Europe, he also made appearances off the bench against Georgia, Estonia and Brazil. Brockie has also represented New Zealand at Under-23 and Under-20 level.

On 7 August 2008, Brockie scored for the NZ U23's in the 1-1 draw against hosts China at the Olympic Football Preliminaries from a flicked ball over the defence by teammate Craig Henderson. Brockie was named as part of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup New Zealand squad to travel to South Africa.
