Roar Managing Director Mark Kingsman made the announcement at the club’s annual awards.
Meanwhile, left back Corey Brown capped off an excellent 2016/17 season by winning the Gary Wilkins Medal for the Roar’s Hyundai A-League Player of the Season.
Brown joins an illustrious list of winners including current Club Captain Matt McKay and departing German marquee Thomas Broich.
Brisbane’s fullback is the first defender to take home the Gary Wilkins Medal since teammate Luke DeVere won the award in the Hyundai A-League 2009/10 season.
Roar Head Coach John Aloisi congratulated Brown on an outstanding season for the Club.
“Well done to Corey who had a fantastic season. We are proud of his development as a footballer and a leader amongst our group,” Aloisi said.
Triple Championship-winning import Thomas Broich is the first inductee into the BRFC Hall of Fame after making 203 appearances for Brisbane across all competitions over seven (7) seasons.
Aloisi praised Broich’s contribution to football not only in Brisbane, but Australia and believed the German maestro is the perfect choice as Roar’s inaugural Hall of Fame inductee.
“Thomas is a club legend, a wonderful footballer who has helped build a successful culture within our Club,” Aloisi added.
“Words cannot describe the influence he has had on all of us.
“I’d like to personally congratulate Thomas on becoming the first player to be inducted into the BRFC Hall of Fame.”

Borrello scored first from the spot after a goalless 30 minutes of extra time left the Elimination Final locked at 1-1.
The 21-year-old showed few nerves in putting the hosts ahead following a tip from the scorer of Australia’s most famous penalty.
“There was talk about who wanted to go first and I just put my hand up,” Borrello told Fox Sports.
“The boss said ‘be confident, pick a spot and the ball will go in the net regardless’.”
Borrello played a key part in Brisbane’s second half recovery at Suncorp Stadium, helping pin Wanderers back after the visitors dominated the opening 45 minutes.
The explosive young attacker was also involved in the equaliser as Roar made it 10 Finals Series matches at Suncorp Stadium without defeat.
“It’s our fortress. They’re not going to get on top of us for any part of the game,” he said.
“We kept on battling away, chipping away [and] we could have put the game away to be fair.
“But it went to penalties and we won.”
