The Broome Bulls play in the West Kimberley Football League (WKFL). They were formed in 1949 (originally as the Meatworks Football Club) and then became the Broome Bulls Football Club in 1995 after the Meatworks closed its doors in 1994.
The club has had a rich history both on and off the field. In the early days of the Meatworks the team was made up predominately from workers at the local meatworks site plus tradesmen. Even after they changed to the Bulls they still maintained their “workers” tradition with most of the team made up of tradies, apprentices labourers and service workers.
They also have a tradition of picking up any passing tourists keen to have a kick. These guys, usually only in Broome for a couple of months, would extend their holiday to run out the end of the season so that they could stay with the team – this usually means that the Bulls lose 10-15 players each year. Even with such a high turnover of players due to the transient nature of Broome and its workers, the club has been very successful.
