Born inLeeds, He first appeared in the Huddersfield first team,[1] when he was called up to the bench for their home game againstOldham Athletic on 20 October 2007, followingAndy Booth's back injury.
He made his first team debut replacingJoe Skarz as a substitute in Town's 3–0 defeat againstTranmere Rovers atPrenton Park on 26 October 2007. On 2 March 2008, Broadbent emulated teammate Joe Skarz's achievement of last season by winning the League One Apprentice Award at theFootball League Awards inLondon. It was also his 18th birthday that day, giving him twice as much reasons to celebrate. Two weeks later, he made his first home appearance for Town at theGalpharm Stadium in their 2–1 defeat bySouthend United. On 15 January 2009, new Town managerLee Clark sent Broadbent out on loan toConference National sideRushden & Diamonds, where he was given the number 9 shirt by managerGarry Hill. He made his debut in the 1–0 defeat for Rushden & Diamonds on 17 January. He returned to Huddersfield on 16 February.

On 24 March 2009, he joinedConference North sideHarrogate Town on loan.[3] He made his debut that night in the 1–0 defeat byWorkington. His first goal came in the 2–1 defeat atRedditch United on 21 March 2009. After returning from his loan spell, he was released. Broadbent was quickly signed by former loan sideHarrogate Town in time for the start of the 2009–2010 season[4] but only made another 13 league appearances adding a solitary strike againstHyde United to his total. Eventually with only a month of the campaign left he joinedFrickley Athletic on loan[5] and then permanently following his release from The CNG Stadium at the end of the season.[6]
In August 2011, he signed forHyde, following manager Gary Lowe fromCurzon Ashton.[7] He made his debut for Hyde in a 2–1 win overWorcester City in August 2011.[8] He went on to score his first goal for the club later that month as his side won 2–0 atGloucester City.[9] He finished the season with seven goals in 37 games.[10]
Due to injury reasons he was sent toMossley in February 2013, where he played 16 times failing to score, before going back to Hyde.[11] On his return to Hyde, he was called straight into the squad for the trip toAlfreton Town, in which Broadbent came off the bench to score Hyde's only goal in a 5–1 defeat.[12]
