Career

Brosinski was born in Karlsruhe. He played his first Bundesliga match for 1. FC Köln (which was his first fully professional match) on 21 February 2009 in a 2–1 away win against Bayern Munich.^[2] He scored 1. FC Köln's second goal.

Although he had signed for Greuther Fürth a two-year contract until 2015,^[3] after Fürth's failed to gain promotion in 2014, Brosinski stated his desire to play in the Bundesliga.^[4] On 3 July 2014, Fürth complied with his wishes and allowed him to join 1. FSV Mainz 05 for transfer believed to be about €1 million. He signed a four-year contract expiring June 2018.^[5] At Mainz he was planned to be the successor of Zdeněk Pospěch who left the club at the age of 35 and went back home to the Czech Republic.

On 3 January 2023, Brosinski signed for his hometown club Karlsruher SC on a contract until the end of the season.^[6] On 15 August 2023, Brosinski and Karlsruher SC extended the contract until 30 June 2024.^[7] In April 2024 he announced he would retire from playing at the end of the season, becoming the third Karlsruhe player to do so during the season after teammates Jérôme Gondorf and Lars Stindl.^[8]
