Big season for ahead for Brotherton. He was already an ever-present in the starting lineup in 2019. Reckon if they're solid at the back like they were last year (they were lne of the best defensive teams in the USL) and if they can replicate something like that again this season, he could potentially attract some MLS interest.
If he's playing well, he'll be on the radar of North Carolina's new MLS franchise Charlotte FC who debut in MLS in the 2021 season:

"Major League Soccer announced a new timeline for the opening season of Charlotte’s MLS club.
Originally scheduled to begin play in 2021, Charlotte will now debut in 2022.
The decision was made by MLS Commissioner Don Garber, in conjunction with the league’s Expansion Committee, to provide the club with an additional year to plan for the team’s launch.
....A week earlier, Charlotte MLS announced the signing of its first-ever professional player, Spanish midfielder Sergio Ruiz.
The club remains on schedule to sign additional players when the transfer window opens later this summer."
