Jeremy Brockie's Club Career
Starting His Football Journey
Brockie began playing youth football for Richmond Athletic. He started his senior career with Nelson Suburbs in the Mainland Premier League. After that, he played for Canterbury United during the 2004–05 season in the New Zealand Football Championship.
Playing in the A-League
Jeremy was one of the standout players for the New Zealand Knights in their first A-League season. He scored four goals in nine games. His first two goals in the A-League were against Newcastle Jets. He also scored a goal in the last minute against Sydney FC to help the Knights get a draw. His fourth goal came in the final game of the season against Melbourne Victory. Brockie was the joint top goal scorer for the New Zealand Knights that season.
On March 17, 2006, Brockie decided to leave the Knights and join Sydney FC. He signed a two-year contract with them. However, he did not play much for Sydney FC, starting only two games and appearing in seven matches. He was released from his contract early on March 6, 2007, for personal reasons. In July 2007, Jeremy signed with Hawke's Bay in the NZFC. Later, he played for Team Wellington.
In 2009, Brockie joined a new A-League team called North Queensland Fury for the 2009–10 season. He played his first game for the Fury on October 17, 2009.

He scored his first goal for the Phoenix in their fifth game against Melbourne Victory. He took a shot from outside the box with his left foot, and it went in off the crossbar. He then scored another goal from a fantastic free kick in the same game.
Brockie finished the 2012–13 season with 16 goals in 25 games for the Phoenix. He was the second-highest goal scorer in the A-League that season. This was a highlight for the Phoenix, as they finished last in the league. In the 2013–14 season, Brockie scored 5 goals in 24 games.
Loan to Toronto FC
Brockie was loaned to Major League Soccer club Toronto FC on May 7, 2013. He joined his fellow New Zealander, manager Ryan Nelsen, there.
