Career

Broeckaert was a youth product of AA Gent, but at the age of 17 he moved to Cercle Brugge after his father had bought off his contract. He would eventually stay 13 years in Bruges and play 375 matches for the green and black team, the second most someone ever has played for Cercle. Jules Verriest holds this record with 492 matches played. Broeckaert also won the Cercle Brugge Pop Poll 3 times. This is a record he shares with Morten Olsen, Josip Weber and Yves Feys.

Coaching career

In 1991, Broeckaert moved to Exc. Mouscron, where he was manager, assistant manager and youth coach. Due to the financial uncertainty at Mouscron, Broeckaert signed for RAEC Mons, to become assistant manager for Rudy Cossey. Franky Vandendriessche made this same move only a bit earlier.
