Considered an All-rounder, Broderick is notable for having the third best bowling figures in a single innings in Northamptonshire history.
This match happened just a few days before the German invasion of Poland.
Resuming his career after the war, Broderick became a regular in the team throughout the 1947 season, claiming 75 wickets including 8-16 against Derbyshire at the Town Ground in Rushden.
1948 not only brought Broderick his career best bowling figures on a drying pitch, he also registered his first two centuries against Warwickshire and Essex.
In 1957 Broderick retired from first-class cricket, taking charge of Northamptonshire's Second XI before coaching at Winchester College until 1987.
