Brockbank joined Hyde United on loan alongside team mate Ryan White on 16 December 2016. He made no appearances during this loan spell. Two years later he was loaned to Salford City on 30 November 2018 and made his debut on 18 December, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 win against Gateshead in the FA Trophy first round, helping Salford reach the second round for the first time in their history.

First Team

He made his debut for Bolton on 19 April 2019, starting in a 0–2 defeat against Aston Villa. This result meant Bolton were relegated to League One. Brockbank was originally released by the club when his contract expired on 30 June 2019, however he signed a new two-year contract on 3 August 2019 despite interest from Burnley and Sunderland. When the senior players refused to play against Coventry City due to unpaid wages, Brockbank played as Captain, and lead the youngest team in Bolton Wanderers history, with an average age of 19, to a 0–0 draw. Brockbank described captaining the club as his dream come true and that Bolton are the only team he wants to play for.

On 2 June 2021 the club announced that Brockbank had signed a new two year deal which would keep him at the club until at least June 2023.
