David Robert Brooks (born 8 July 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club AFC Bournemouth and the Wales national team. He played for both Wales and England at youth level before making his senior debut for Wales in 2017. After a series of impressive performance for Sheffield United in the 2017–18 season, Brooks was recruited by Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe in the summer of 2018.
Brooks was associated with the Manchester City academy from the age of seven, before he switched to the Sheffield United academy in 2014 and signed professional forms with the club in March 2015. He joined National League side F.C. Halifax Town on a one-month loan on 29 August 2015. He had his loan extended into a second month and scored one goal, against Aldershot Town, in his five appearances.
He made his first team debut for the "Blades" on 30 August 2016, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Matt Done in a 0–0 draw with Leicester City U23's in an EFL Trophy group stage match at Bramall Lane. He made his first start for the club in the next fixture in the competition, a 2–1 home defeat by Walsall on 4 October, following which manager Chris Wilder said that "I think it's difficult for a young player to impress when the players around him aren't performing". Four days later, he was picked for the Wales team by Chris Coleman.
