Playing career
editInter-county
editBrosnan made his Kerry Senior debut against Louth in 2000.[1] He won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title with Kerry on three occasions - 2004,[1] 2006[1] and 2007. The 2004 and 2006 finals were played against Mayo, while the 2007 final was against Cork. In the 2006 tie, Brosnan came on as a substitute in place of Tomás Ó Sé against Mayo and scored 1-01. In the 2007 game he scored one point and set up another. In 2008, Kerry again reached the All-Ireland final, but lost to Tyrone, and there was some criticism of the decision to select Brosnan.[3] He also won two National League titles (2004 and 2006)[1] and five Munster Championship medals (2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2013) with Kerry. Brosnan retired from Inter-county football in December 2013.[4][5]
Club
editIn 2000, Brosnan won a Kerry Senior Football Championship medal with Dr. Crokes.[1] In 2006, Brosnan and Dr. Crokes were defeated in the Kerry Senior Football Championship final by South Kerry.[1] However, Crokes qualified to represent the county in the 2006 Munster Senior Club Football Championship because South Kerry are a divisional side and not a club.[1] They won the competition.[1] Brosnan scored a vital goal in the replayed All-Ireland semi-final.[1] The team went on to reach All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final, but lost to Crossmaglen Rangers after a replay.[6]
He has also won a Cork Senior Football Championship medal and Munster Club Championship medal with UCC.[1]
International Rules
editBrosnan represented Ireland in the 2004 and 2005 International Rules Series.[1]
