Playing career

University College Cork

During his studies at University College Cork, Brosnan was selected for the college's senior hurling team on a number of occasions. On 3 March 2012, he won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal after coming on as a 55th-minute substitute for Dan McCormack when the university defeated the Cork Institute of Technology by 2-15 to 2-14 in the final.[1]

Glen Rovers

Brosnan joined the Glen Rovers club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, winning a Cork Under-21 Championship medal as a 17-year-old in 2008. He made his first appearance for the club's senior team on 8 August 2009 in a 1-21 to 0-13 Cork Senior Championship quarter-final defeat by Newtownshandrum.

On 11 October 2015, Brosnan won his first Cork Senior Championship medal after scoring three points from play when Glen Rovers defeated Sarsfields by 2-17 to 1-13 in the final.[2]

Brosnan won his second Cork Senior Championship medal on 9 October 2016 when he scored four points in a 0-19 to 2-11 defeat of Erin's Own in the final.[3]

On 20 October 2019, Brosnan played in his fifth final when Glen Rovers faced Imokilly. Lining out at right wing-forward, he scored two points from play but ended the game on the losing side following a 2-17 to 1-16 defeat.[4]

Cork

Minor and under-21

Brosnan first played for Cork at minor level on 24 June 2009 and scored 1-01 in a 5-17 apiece draw with Tipperary in the Munster Championship.[5] His one season in this grade ended without silverware.

Brosnan was subsequently selected for the Cork under-21 team and made his first appearance on 3 August 2011 as a substitute in a 4-20 to 1-27 Munster Championship defeat by Limerick.[6] He was also included on the Cork under-21 team the following year, however, his tenure in the grade ended without success.

Senior

Brosnan was added to the Cork senior hurling panel in late 2015 and made his first appearances during the pre-season 2016 Munster League.[7][8] He was an unused substitute for Cork's subsequent National Hurling League and All-Ireland Championship matches.

Brosnan made his first National League appearance 11 February 2017, replacing Shane Kingston in a 0-21 to 1-11 defeat of Clare.[9] He later made his first Munster Championship appearance on 18 June, coming on as a substitute for Alan Cadogan in a 0-21 to 1-15 defeat of Waterford at the semi-final stage.[10] On 9 July, he won his first Munster Championship medal as a non-playing substitute following a 1-25 to 1-20 defeat of Clare in the final.[11]

On 1 July 2018, Brosnan won a second successive Munster Championship medal after being introduced as a 73rd-minute for Lorcán McLoughlin in Cork's 2-24 to 3-19 defeat of Clare in the final.[12]
