Joseph Broad (born August 24, 1982 in Bristol) is an English professional footballer. He currently plays for Western League Division One side Truro City.
Broad began his career as a trainee with Plymouth Argyle, turning professional in August 2000. He made his league debut on August 18, 2001, as a late substitute for Sean Evers in a goalless draw away to Hull City. First team chances were sparse at Home Park, so Broad was loaned to Conference side Yeovil Town in November 2001 to gain some additional experience.
He returned after a month with Yeovil, but struggled to establish himself and was allowed to join Torquay United on a free transfer in September 2003. He was mainly used as a substitute by Torquay manager Leroy Rosenior and was released at the end of the season.
In August 2004 he signed for Walsall, but again struggled to settle. He was given a two-year contract extension, despite his lack of first team experience. However Paul Merson later decided that he was not part of his plans and on January 16, 2006 Broad left to join Truro City helping the Cornish side to promotion to the Western League in 2006.
