After being on Kilmarnock's books as a junior he moved to Chelsea in October 1971,[3] although he had limited opportunities there and only played 8 Football League games. He moved to Bristol City in 1974 but never fully established himself, and after City's promotion to the First Division he was transferred to Grimsby Town.[3]

Brolly was a solid member of the team in his six seasons with the Mariners, and played over 250 League games for the club,[2] including winning two promotions. He then had a season with Derby County before finishing his Football League career with Scunthorpe United, although he did then have non-league spells with Scarborough and Boston United.[3]
