Michael Brough (born 1 August 1981) is a footballer who plays for Harrogate Town. Although born in England, he has represented Wales at under-21 level.[3]
Career
Brough was born in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. He began his career as a trainee with Notts County, turning professional in August 1998. In December 1999 he joined Spalding United on loan before returning to Meadow Lane. His League debut came on 7 March 2000 in a 1–0 win away to Gillingham.
He fell out of favour at Notts County and was allowed to join Macclesfield Town on trial in January 2004, after being told that his short-term contract would not be renewed.[4] He also had a trial with Lincoln City the following month.[5]
He was released by Notts County in March 2004 and joined Stevenage Borough,[6] moving on to Forest Green Rovers in January 2006 on a free transfer.[7] He was made captain at Forest Green, under the management of his former Notts County teammate Gary Owers, but left in May 2008 to join Paul Buckle's Torquay United.[8]
He made his Torquay debut in August 2008, playing in the 3–1 defeat away to Crawley Town, after which he lost his place, starting only one other game that season. On 2 February 2009, Brough and fellow Torquay defender Chris Todd joined Salisbury City on loan.[9]
Brough was then loaned to Mansfield Town, and was signed by the club in January 2010,[10] but then went on to join Darlington for the 2010–11 season.[11] He injured a knee in pre-season,[12] and played only seven games for Darlington before undergoing further surgery which was to keep him out of football for nine months.[13][14] Given a short-term contract in September 2011, he made six appearances for Darlington,[15] but then left the club and spent a month with Conference North club Guiseley, before signing for divisional rivals Harrogate Town in December.[16]
