He was known for his curving shots, especially from free kick/dead ball situations.

In 1962, he joined the then ECN and was part of the Challenge Cup winning side of 1965.

After a successful playing career, Brodericks-Imasuen became a coach and handled the Midwest junior side to win gold medal at the inaugural National Sports Festival in 1973.
At another time, he was the assistant to Clemens Westerhof in the Super Eagles.
