David Robert Brooks

David Robert Brooks

David Brooks attacks space from the right, runs beyond the line and shapes late finishes for Bournemouth. Brooks broke through at Sheffield United in 2017 before joining Bournemouth in 2018. Brooks thrives with a calm left foot. From 2021 to 2023 he battled Hodgkin lymphoma and returned to play in 2023. A 2024 loan to Southampton helped him push for Premier League promotion. Back with Bournemouth, Brooks is Wales international who presses high, attacks space, and links play with one-touch layoffs. He finishes moves and gets shots off quickly after timing runs.
