Club career

Born in Sheffield, [1] Brooks played for Sheffield Wednesday before joining Notts County's academy. [2] During the 2019–20 season, Brooks spent time on loan at Lincoln United. [3] There, he impressed Lincoln chairman Rob Bradley, who described him as "the best young goalkeeper I’ve ever seen". [3] He spent time with Worksop Town F.C. in late 2020 [4] and August 2021, [5] while he was sent on loan at Coalville Town in February 2022. [6]

Brooks signed a new three-year contract with Notts County in June 2022. [7] He then had loan spells with Hednesford Town and Boston United during the 2022–23 season. [8] On 4 March 2023, the goalkeeper made his professional debut for Notts County in a league match against Bromley, saving a penalty eight minutes into the game. [8] [9] As first-choice keeper Sam Slocombe was sidelined with an injury, Brooks was given a run of games in the following weeks, including a home debut at Meadow Lane. [10] His performances were reported to be going from "strength to strength" during this period. [11] On 7 July 2023, Brooks signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City on loan until the end of their season in November. [12] He made his debut on the same day, in a 1–1 draw away to St Patrick's Athletic, but he was substituted off in the 55th minute with a foot injury that would keep him out of action for several months. [13] In January 2024, he joined National League side Rochdale on loan for the remainder of the season. [14]

On 5 July 2024, Brooks joined National League side Gateshead on a two-year deal. [15] He made his debut for Gateshead on 10 August 2024 in a 5–1 win over Ebbsfleet. [16]

International career

Brooks took part in a training camp with England's youth national set-up at St. George's Park in December 2021. [17] He was put on standby selection for the England under-19 national team ahead of the 2022 European Championship, which was ultimately won by the Three Lions themselves. [18]

He later switched allegiances to represent the Republic of Ireland, thanks to his family ties in Sligo. [19] He made his debut for the Republic of Ireland U21 team on 26 March 2023, starting in a 2–1 win against Iceland. [20]

During the 2022–23 English football season, Notts County competed in the National League, the fifth tier of the English football league system; this was their fourth season at this level following their relegation from EFL League Two in 2019. The team was involved in an intense race with Wrexham for the league title and the solitary automatic promotion place, with the two clubs dominating the 2022–23 National League season, together surpassing previous divisional records for points, wins and goals scored. Though Notts earned 107 points over the campaign, Wrexham claimed the title by a four-point margin, requiring the former to enter a six-team play-off to determine the second promoted club. Here, the team overturned a 0–2 deficit to defeat Boreham Wood 3–2 in extra time in the semi-final. It then gained a place in the English Football League (EFL) by beating Chesterfield on penalties in the 2023 National League play-off final following a 2–2 draw at Wembley Stadium. The team fared less well in cup competitions, losing to Coalville Town in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup and to Maidstone United on penalties in the fourth round of the FA Trophy.
