Germany's Thomas Broich was Monday voted the player of the A-League season by Australia's football media.

Broich, 33, Brisbane Roar's marquee man for the past four seasons, was the stand-out player of the A-League, Australia's Football Media Association (FMA) said.

"Thomas Broich is widely considered to be the most consistent marquee player the A-League has had," FMA President Ray Gatt said.

"This season has been another outstanding season for him and he is an integral and influential part of Brisbane Roar's success."

Broich won the FMA A-League Player of the Year from Argentine Marcelo Carrusca and Spaniard Isaias Sanchez, both of Adelaide United.

Broich is the fourth overseas winner of the award following Alessandro Del Piero (2012-13), Besart Berisha (2011-12) and Carlos Hernandez (2009-10).
