[edit] Career

Brockie played 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 March 17, 2006, the New Zealand Knights announced that Brockie had decided to leave the club and join Sydney FC on a two-year contract. ^[1]^[2] 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,^[3] Brockie was released early from his contract on March 6, 2007 for personal reasons.

In July 2007 Jeremy signed for Hawke's Bay. [1]
