Leigh David Bromby (born June 2 1980) is an English footballer who plays for Leeds United in Football League One. He can play as a central defender or right back. He's one of very few players to have played over 100 games for each of the steel city rivals Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday.

Career

Sheffield Wednesday

Born in Dewsbury, Bromby started his footballing career at Liversedge before being spotted by Sheffield Wednesday. He then progressed through the Sheffield Wednesday youth academy, and in September 1999 joined Mansfield Town on loan for three months. He made his Football League debut on 12 December 1999 in a 0–0 draw at Barnet. He scored his first career goal in a 3–1 home win over Southend United in January 2000.

Bromby made his Wednesday debut the following season; on 23 December 2000 as substitute in a 1–0 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. He went on to make 20 appearances that season.

He spent part of the 2002–03 season on loan at Norwich City[1] before returning to Wednesday. After making 112 appearances for the club he moved to local rivals Sheffield United in a free transfer on 24 May 2004.[2]

Sheffield United

Bromby made his début for Sheffield United against Leicester City at Bramall Lane on 7 August 2004 in a 4-1 win for the Blades. He played in all 46 league matches that season and scored his fist senior goal for the club in the same game a diving header at the far post.

On 15 August 2006, he signed a new three year contract with United, with an option for a further year.[3]

Bromby spent much of the 2007–08 season on the sidelines, making only 15 appearances. His longest spell in the side was in January 2008, when he played 6 games in which United lost only once.

Watford

On 31 January 2008 he moved to Watford signing a three and a half year contract, for a fee of £600,000 rising to £850,000 based on appearances.[4] His final appearance for United had been in a league fixture against his new club, two days previously. His former manager, Bryan Robson, admitted that he did not want to sell Bromby, but he had wanted regular football and Watford's offer had been reasonable.[5] On 2 February 2008, Bromby made his debut for Watford at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Within the first minute his long throw set up Steve Kabba to score in an eventual 3–0 victory.[6] After only a year at Vicarage Road Bromby returned to Sheffield United on a six month loan with a view to a permanent deal.[7]

Sheffield United

Ironically, having returned to Bramall Lane, just as his first spell at the club ended with an appearance against Watford, his first game back with the Blades also saw him appear as a second half substitute against The Hornets despite them still being his current employers.[7] Bromby played the remainder of the season as defensive cover, completing thirteen appearances and one goal during his loan period. Following the end of the season he signed a new two year deal with United, returning to his former club on a free transfer.[8]

Leeds United

On 30 August 2009 it was announced that Leigh and Sheffield United had agreed the transfer of the defender to Leeds United for an undisclosed fee,believed to be in the region of £250,000. The versatile defender agreed a four year deal with the club he supported as a boy.
