Charles Broadhurst

Charles Broadhurst was an English professional footballer. A centre forward, he played for two Football League clubs during the 1920s and 1930s.

Career Moston-born Broadhurst began his career with Ashton National, before turning professional with Manchester City in the 1926–27 season. He scored on his professional debut, a 2–2 draw at Darlington in April 1927. He played again in the return match three days later, and this time scored four goals in a 7–0 win.

The following season Broadhurst scored 20 goals in 28 appearances as Manchester City won the Second Division championship. However, he made no appearances after February, and made just five appearances in the 1928–29 season. In total, he made 33 League appearances and scored 25 goals in his two years with the Maine Road club.

In 1929 he moved to nearby Blackpool, for whom he made eighteen League appearances and scored six goals in his season-and-a-half with the club.
