Tiernan Jon Brooks (born 17 June 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Charlton Athletic. Born in England, Brooks has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth international level.

Club career

Notts County

Born in Sheffield,[2] Brooks played for Sheffield Wednesday before joining Notts County's academy.[3] During the 2019–20 season, Brooks spent time on loan at Lincoln United.[4] There, he impressed Lincoln chairman Rob Bradley, who described him as "the best young goalkeeper I've ever seen".[4] He spent time with Worksop Town F.C. in late 2020[5] and August 2021,[6] while he was sent on loan at Coalville Town in February 2022.[7]

Brooks signed a new three-year contract with Notts County in June 2022.[8] He then had loan spells with Hednesford Town and Boston United during the 2022–23 season.[9] On 4 March 2023, the goalkeeper made his professional debut for Notts County in a league match against Bromley, saving a penalty eight minutes into the game.[9][10] As first-choice keeper Sam Slocombe was sidelined with an injury, Brooks was given a run of games in the following weeks, including a home debut at Meadow Lane.[11] His performances were reported to be going from "strength to strength" during this period.[12] On 7 July 2023, Brooks signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City on loan until the end of their season in November.[13] He made his debut on the same day, in a 1–1 draw away to St Patrick's Athletic, but he was substituted off in the 55th minute with a foot injury that would keep him out of action for several months.[14] In January 2024, he joined National League side Rochdale on loan for the remainder of the season.[15]

Gateshead

On 5 July 2024, Brooks joined National League side Gateshead on a two-year deal.[16] He made his debut for Gateshead on 10 August 2024 in a 5–1 win over Ebbsfleet. [17]

Charlton Athletic

On 28 January 2026, Brooks joined Charlton Athletic on a two-and-a-half year deal.[18][19]

International career

Brooks took part in a training camp with England's youth national set-up at St. George's Park in December 2021.[20] He was put on standby selection for the England under-19 national team ahead of the 2022 European Championship, which was ultimately won by the Three Lions themselves.[21]

He later switched allegiances to represent the Republic of Ireland, thanks to his family ties in Sligo.[22] He made his debut for the Republic of Ireland U21 team on 26 March 2023, starting in a 2–1 win against Iceland.[23]
