After playing in Subiaco's 2006, 2007 and 2008 WAFL premiership winning teams and winning the 2008 Tom Outridge Medal as Subiaco's best and fairest player, [1] Broughton was drafted to Fremantle in the 2009 Rookie Draft with Fremantle's final selection, number 74 overall. [2] After displaying good form as a small defender during the 2009 pre-season, he was elevated to Fremantle's senior list as a nominated rookie, along with Matt de Boer. [3]

Broughton made his AFL debut for Fremantle in Round 3 of the 2009 AFL season at Subiaco Oval against Adelaide. [4] In 2009, Broughton averaged 23 possessions with a high of 37 against Port Adelaide in Round 19.

In December 2006, before he was drafted by Fremantle, Broughton suffered a fractured eye socket in a nightclub incident allegedly involving Fremantle players Jeff Farmer and Steven Dodd. Farmer retired from AFL football a few months before Broughton was drafted to Fremantle, but Dodd was a teammate of Broughton's. No charges were laid following the incident. [5]

Broughton's father, who is part Maori, was from Patea in New Zealand and moved to Australia when he was 20 years old. [6]

Following the end of the 2012 AFL season, Broughton was traded from Fremantle to Gold Coast. [7]

He announced his retirement in September 2015, effective after the round 23 match against Sydney. [8]
