Club career

Early life and career

McBreen was born in

McBreen earned his first professional contract aged 23

Newcastle United of the National Soccer League in July 2000.[11] He later credited Edgeworth coach Bobby Naumov for the move, saying "He set me on the road to a pro career".[5] McBreen made his debut that year,[7] and scored 6 goals from 23 appearances[12] as Newcastle finished in 14th place in the 2000–01 National Soccer League table.[13] Newcastle turned full-time the following year,[5] and McBreen played 13 matches and scored 3 goals[12] with Newcastle improving their league position by ranking second in the 2001–02 National Soccer League table.[14] Despite playing less frequently[12] he enjoyed working under new coach Ian Crook, saying "you can speak to him as a human being and he can man manage. He made training enjoyable".[5]

Spells in Europe

After being offered a

McBreen was prepared to return to Australia before being offered a trial with

2004 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, in which Falkirk beat Ross County 2–1 at McDiarmid Park on 7 November.[23] His first goal came on his first start for the club,[23] with a shot from eight yards seconds before half-time, as Falkirk beat Raith Rovers 2–0 away on 13 November.[24] This marked the start of a run of nine goals from seven matches,[23] and come the end of the season McBreen and his strike partner Darryl Duffy had scored a combined total of 40 goals.[25] He finished 2004–05 with 13 goals from 26 matches[23] as Falkirk were promoted to the Scottish Premier League as 2004–05 Scottish First Division champions.[26] His 13 league goals saw him ranked as the division's fourth highest scorer.[27]

McBreen signed a new one-year contract with Falkirk in June 2005, and manager John Hughes predicted "With a good pre-season under his belt, I'm sure he'll get even better".[28] He scored his first goal of the 2005–06 season in the 83rd minute of a home match against Rangers on 10 September, with a header from Alan Gow's cross that secured Falkirk a 1–1 draw.[29] McBreen scored the only goal in Falkirk's 1–0 win over Livingston on 6 May 2006 with a header from Gow's free kick, which was only the team's second victory at home all season.[30] He appeared more frequently in 2005–06, making 38 appearances but only scoring 8 goals,[31] with Falkirk ranking in 10th place in the 2005–06 Scottish Premier League table.[32] Despite taking over the main striking role after Duffy's transfer to Hull City in January, McBreen was released by the club in May.[33]

He went on trial with

2006–07 League One champions.[38] At the end of the season, McBreen was told by Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins that he was free to pursue a transfer to another club, despite having a year remaining on his contract.[39]

McBreen joined

extra time, which they eventually lost in a penalty shoot-out.[47] St Johnstone finished in third place in the 2007–08 Scottish First Division table[48] as McBreen made seven appearances and scored one goal[46] before being released by the club in May.[49]

2009 FA Trophy Final

McBreen held talks with

Stevenage Borough.[60] He made 48 appearances and scored 10 goals[53] with York finishing in 17th place in the 2008–09 Conference Premier table.[61]

Return to Australia

McBreen made his debut for North Queensland Fury in a 3–2 home defeat to Sydney FC on 8 August 2009 as an 82nd-minute substitute for Paul Kohler.[62] He soon established himself in the starting line-up, and scored his first goal for the Fury after heading in a Fred Agius cross in the 87th minute of a 3–3 draw with Adelaide United on 28 August.[62][63] He went on to sign a two-year pre-contract with A-League opponents Central Coast Mariners, for the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons, in December.[64] McBreen was used mostly as a substitute after the move was announced,[62] before signing an interim contract with Perth Glory for the remainder of the 2009–10 season in a swap for Jimmy Downey on 12 January 2010.[65] He had scored 3 goals in 21 appearances for the Fury.[62]

McBreen's debut for the Glory came when he entered a 6–2 away loss to

Australia national team.[68]

McBreen made his debut for the Mariners in 1–0 away win over

yellow card[62] during the stoppage time of a 5–1 home defeat to Brisbane Roar on 28 November,[70] and returned from suspension as a 52nd-minute substitute for Adam Kwasnik in a 1–1 draw away to Perth Glory on 12 December.[71] With a second-placed finish in the 2010–11 A-League table the Mariners qualified for the finals series,[72] and he started in their 4–2 aggregate defeat to Brisbane Roar in the major semi-final and their 1–0 win over Gold Coast United in the preliminary final.[62] McBreen came on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Simon in the 2011 A-League Grand Final at Lang Park on 13 March 2011, and after a 2–2 extra time draw he missed one of the penalty kicks as the Mariners lost the shoot-out 4–2.[62] He made 31 appearances and scored 5 goals for the Mariners in 2010–11.[62]

Early into the 2011–12 A-League season he was deployed as the focal of a midfield diamond, and this contributed to the team's improving form.[73] McBreen scored his first goal of the season in a 3–1 home win over Melbourne Heart, with an 82nd-minute penalty kick, and his only A-League goal scored in normal play[62] came after converting Pedj Bojic's cross in a 3–2 home victory over Adelaide United on 21 January 2012.[74] The Mariners became the A-League Premiers after finishing in first place in the 2011–12 table, also qualifying for the finals series.[75] He appeared as a substitute in the first leg of their 5–2 aggregate defeat to Brisbane Roar in the major semi-final, and as a substitute in the preliminary final against Perth Glory, in which the Mariners were beaten 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 extra time draw.[62] McBreen made five appearances and scored twice in the 2012 AFC Champions League,[62] as they were eliminated from the tournament after finishing third in their group.[76] He scored 4 goals from 30 matches in 2011–12,[62] and was handed a new contract with the Mariners for the 2012–13 A-League in April.[77]

McBreen's first goal of 2012–13 came seven minutes after entering the Mariners's 1–0 win at home to Perth Glory as a 63rd-minute substitute, in what was his first appearance of the season.

Guangzhou Evergrande of the Chinese Super League.[62] McBreen signed a new contract with the Mariners for the 2013–14 A-League in May,[85] having scored 19 goals from 33 appearances in 2012–13.[62]

Spells in Asia

On 8 June 2013, McBreen joined Chinese Super League team

Guizhou Renhe.[62] He scored 3 goals in 13 appearances for Shanghai before returning for the Mariners when starting their 1–0 home defeat to the Brisbane Roar on 10 November.[62] McBreen's first goal for the Mariners in the 2013–14 A-League came with a close-range backheel with the only goal in a 1–0 victory at home to Sydney FC on 7 December.[87]

McBreen scored twice in 12 appearances for the Mariners in 2013–14

Shanghai Greenland Shenhua on 26 April.[89] He went without scoring in the final three months of the season, which he finished with 5 goals from 28 appearances[62] as Shanghai ranked in fifth place in the 2014 Chinese Super League table.[90] McBreen stated his desire to stay for another season, but admitted he might not be retained after the club was taken over by new owners.[91]

He signed for

YFCMD in the final, but was substituted before the 4–2 penalty shoot-out win.[62] South China finished fourth in the 2014–15 Hong Kong Premier League table,[93] and McBreen scored 11 goals from 17 appearances[62] before his contract expired in May.[94]

International career

Australia national team coach Pim Verbeek selected McBreen in an extended squad of 25 players for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Indonesia in Brisbane on 3 March 2010.[68] He was an unused substitute as Australia beat Indonesia 1–0.[95]

Style of play

McBreen played as a

striker and was good in the air and adept at holding the ball up and bringing teammates into play.[96] At 6 feet 1 inch (1.86 m),[3] he posed a threat at set pieces.[97] North Queensland Fury coach Ian Ferguson commented on his physicality, describing him as "an aggressive player ... who will give centre halves a hard time".[97]

Coaching career

McBreen was appointed as the head coach of the Newcastle Jets under-15 team in October 2015,[98] and remained playing on a semi-professional basis with former club Edgeworth in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW for the 2016 season.[99] He retired from playing at the end of the 2019 season[100] and was appointed as the head coach of the Newcastle Jets youth team on 13 September 2019.[101] In April 2022, he left his post as coach, amid suggestions he and footballer manager Craig Deans had lost faith in the club's management.[102]

Media career

Since 2021, McBreen has worked for Network 10 providing commentary and punditry on the Australia men's national soccer team and A-League Men matches.

Personal life

Before turning professional McBreen worked a number of jobs along with playing football, saying "I did everything – too many jobs to mention – and I know I would rather be on the training ground than sat in an office or hauling concrete all day".[103] He married Gabrielle Stockton in Sydney, New South Wales in December 2014 and the couple have two sons, Noah and Leo.[104]
