Career
In 2009, Broadhurst moved to Japan to play for the Ricoh Black Rams in the Top League. In 2012 he qualified to play for Japan through residency, and he played his first matches for them in June in the two matches series against the French Barbarians playing at lock and scored a try in the second match. Later in the year in November, he made his full capped debut for Japan coming off the bench in the wins against Romania and Georgia.
In 2013, with Michael Leitch out injured, Broadhurst got a starting position in the team at flanker and notably scored tries in both matches of the two test matches against Wales in June, helping Japan to their first ever victory over the Welsh in the 2nd Test.
