Brough began 2000-01 in Cheltenham Town's line-up but was hampered by hamstring trouble early on and, shortly after he had recovered, he had the misfortune to suffer a serious knee ligament injury playing against Macclesfield Town in October.
It was not until towards the end of the campaign that his rehabilitation was complete and he made no further senior appearances.
He is a versatile player who is essentially a central defender but has occasionally appeared as a makeshift striker.
Brough signed a new one-year contract with Cheltenham Town in June 2004.
