head against Brisbane Roar in the 13/14 season, and Adelaide United in the 14/15 season. His aerial threat has been consistent throughout the 14/15 season including 3 attempted headers at goal against Brisbane Roar in a 1–0 win. He also scored the third goal in the 2015 Grand Final win against Sydney FC at AAMI park with a near post finish following an over-lapping run on the right. In the 2016/17 season, Broxham found himself occupying the left-back role giving consistent and reliable performances. During the latter parts of the season with the departure of midfielder Oliver Bozanic, Broxham returned to central midfield once again partnering with Carl Valeri and bossing the oppositions off the park especially during the finals series against Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC. In the 2017/18 season with the departure of Daniel Georgievski, Broxham filled in the role of left-back for the season and in typical fashion performed reliably defensively. Broxham and the team finished the season with a championship trophy. With the departure of Kevin Muscat, managers Marco Kurz, Carlos Salvachua and Grant Brebner mainly utilized Broxham back in the centre of midfield with the prospect of maintaining possession and distributing the ball laterally.
