Fabian Broghammer (born 14 January 1990) is a German footballer.

Club career

[edit]

Bristol Rovers

[edit]

In July 2012, he joined English Football League Two side Bristol Rovers on trial on the recommendation of then VfL Wolfsburg manager Felix Magath, a former Hamburg teammate of Rovers' manager at the time Mark McGhee. On 12 August, it was announced that Broghammer had signed a one-year deal with Rovers, with the option of a second year.

He made his debut for Rovers on the 18 August 2012, against Oxford United coming on as a 50th-minute substitute for midfielder Wayne Brown in Bristol Rovers' first league game of the season.[2] On 8 September 2012, injury time was approaching when he scored his first goal for Bristol Rovers, in the 2-2 home draw against Aldershot. The assist for his goal was from Elliot Richards.[3]

Broghammer took up the option to extend his contract by a further year at Rovers[4] but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in a pre-season friendly with Hereford United.[5] The injury kept Broghammer out for nine months, returning in the away fixture with Portsmouth.[6] Rovers were relegated at the end of the season and Broghammer was released, having made 40 appearances for the club over two seasons.[7]

SV Wiesbaden

[edit]

Broghammer joined SV Wiesbaden on 1 August 2014.

International career

[edit]

Broghammer represented Germany at under 17, 18, and 19 level, amassing 17 caps overall.

Broghammer was part of the German squad that finished third at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
