Brogan made his debut for South Sydney in 1922 against Newtown as an 18-year-old. In 1924, Brogan was selected to play for New South Wales and featured in two matches. The following year, Brogan won his first premiership with Souths as they finished first on the table and were not required to play in a grand final to be declared champions. In 1926, Brogan was a member of the Souths side which defeated University 11-5 at the Sydney Showground (Moore Park). Brogan continued to play with Souths up until the end of 1929 but did not feature in any of the other premiership winning teams that followed in 1927, 1928 and 1929.
