Tall target-man who made an immediate impact with his aggression, spirit and goal-scoring on being signed for £50,000 from Peterborough in January 2001.
Despite his disciplinary problems, Broughton is a first choice when fit and wins a lot of aerial challenges.
He started off at Norwich, scoring one goal in Division One, before a brief move to Brentford and then a switch to Peterborough with both clubs paying £100,000 for his services.
Loan spells at Conference outfits Stevenage and Dagenham brought goals in 2000/01 and he continued in a similar vein at Harriers.
A pre-season injury and a failed £70,000 move to Oxford held Broughton up last season but the goals arrived as he gained a steady run of games.
League appearances/goals: Norwich (96/97) 8/1, (97/98) 1, Wigan (loan) 4, Brentford (98/99) 1, Peterborough 25/7, (99/00) 10/1, Harriers (00/01) 19/7, (01/02) 38/8.
