Former Bolton Wanderers team captain Harry Brockbank has signed with El Paso Locomotive FC, the club announced today, pending league and federation approval.
“Harry [Brockbank] is exactly what we need,” said John Hutchinson, Locomotive Head Coach and Technical Director. “He is young, but he has also been the captain in Bolton for a long time. He has good leadership and great energy which we want to bring to this club but most of all he wants to be here. He wants to be part of this club and what we are trying to achieve. He is ambitious; he wants to do well here and see what other opportunities develop in other leagues. He wants to grow and become a better footballer and we want to help make him a better footballer.”
A Bolton, England native, Brockbank began his youth career in 2005 in the Bolton Wanderers Academy where he learned to play, eventually helping the U-23 team to a Professional Development League title in 2018. Since then, Brockbank has recorded 36 appearances for the Wanderers, including a standout 18 appearances in the 2020/2021 season that saw his hometown club promote into EFL League One. As a versatile and ambitious defender, Brockbank has an ability to fill in any position throughout the defensive third, though naturally has played as right back throughout his career.
”I can’t wait to get him here and I know the players can’t wait for him to get here as well so we can keep building towards the season,” concluded Hutchinson.
