Zain Sam Westbrooke (born 28 October 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for EFL League Two club Doncaster Rovers.
[14] Westbrooke was called into the first team squad for the final two matches of the 2016–17 season and made his debut in the West London derby with Fulham as a 76th-minute substitute for Konstantin Kerschbaumer on 29 April 2017.
[2] Mounting injuries led to Westbrooke's inclusion on the first team bench for a league match versus Ipswich Town on 19 August 2017, but he remained an unused substitute during the 2–0 defeat.
[21] After a substitute appearance in an EFL Trophy group stage match, Westbrooke made his full debut for the club with a start in a 1–0 win over Southend United on 29 December 2018.
[29] Returning to the Memorial Stadium for the 2022–23 pre-season, manager Joey Barton stated that Westbrooke's performances in training and matches had "done nothing but enhance his claim" for a first team place.
[34] Though he started in the opening match of the regular season versus Forest Green Rovers,[35] Westbrooke was subsequently barred from first team training and was told he was free to leave the club.
[26] Following a period training with Walsall,[39] Westbrooke joined League Two club Doncaster Rovers as a free agent on 24 March 2023 and signed a contract running until the end of the 2022–23 season.
[35][41] Either side of three months out with a thigh muscle tear suffered in early December 2023,[42][43] Westbrooke made 34 appearances and scored two goals during the 2023–24 season,[44] which culminated in a playoff semi-final defeat.
