Ryan Brobbel (born 5 March 1993) is a professional footballer who plays for Middlesbrough, as a winger. Brobbel signed a professional contract with Middlesbrough in 2011 after progressing through their youth system. He had two loan spells with York City in the 2013–14 season and played for them in the League play-offs.

Club career

Born in Hartlepool, County Durham, Brobbel started his career with the youth system of Middlesbrough and signed a three-year professional contract with the club on 1 May 2011 after finishing his apprenticeship.[3][4] He joined League Two side York City on a one-month loan on 30 August 2013,[5] making his debut the following day as a 74th minute substitute for Ashley Chambers in a 2–1 defeat away to Exeter City.[6] Brobbel scored his first career goal in the second minute of the following match at home to Mansfield Town on 14 September 2013 with a header from six yards, although York went on to lose 2–1.[6][7] On 27 September 2013, after making three appearances and scoring one goal for York, Brobbel's loan was extended to 5 January 2014.[6][8] York opted against extending his loan when it expired,[9] having made 13 appearances and scored three goals for the club.[6] Brobbel rejoined York on loan until the end of the season on 27 March 2014, following an injury to Josh Carson, and made his second debut for the club two days later in a 0–0 home with Burton Albion.[6][10] He played in York's 1–0 home defeat to Fleetwood Town in the play-off semi-final first leg, but did not play in the second leg, after which York were eliminated 1–0 on aggregate.[6][11] He made eight appearances in his second spell with York.[6]

Brobbel signed a new one-year contract with Middlesbrough in July 2014,[12] before joining League Two Hartlepool United, his hometown club, on a one-month loan on 8 August,[13] which was later extended by a further month by the club.[14]

International career

Brobbel is eligible to represent England, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland at international level, and has been on training camps with both Irish teams.[3] He played for the Northern Ireland national under-17, under-18 and under-19 teams before making his debut for the under-21 team in a 3–0 away defeat against Malta on 30 May 2013.[4][15]
