Bio
Recruited from the Waterside Workers football team, Phil Brooks was a forward who earned his first opportunity at the elite level with South Melbourne in 1924. His career was defined by a significant hiatus from VFL football, playing just two games for the Southerners before spending seven years out of the League. He eventually earned a second chance with Hawthorn in 1931, where he added another two games and two goals to his tally. Though his time at the top level was brief and fragmented, Brooks managed to hit the scoreboard at both of his clubs, finishing with a career total of three goals from four senior appearances.
