Career

Brown began his career in the youth teams at Tranmere Rovers and Manchester City before playing semi-professional football with Northwich Victoria and Marine. While he played for Marine he also worked a full-time job at telecoms company MJ Quinn as the coordinator of the Scotland patch. He went on trial at League side Chesterfield in the summer of 2013 which was a success and he joined the Spireites on a one-year contract.[1][2] In October 2013 he joined Conference Premier side Southport on loan where he played five times scoring once against Cambridge United.[3] He made his Football League debut on 14 December 2013 against Plymouth Argyle and scored in a 2–0 victory, however he was later sent-off.[4] Chesterfield successfully appealed against his dismissal and his ban was rescinded.[5][6]

On 7 February 2014, Brown linked up with Chester on an initial one-month loan deal,[7] but remained there until the end of the season.[8]

On 13 May 2014, Chesterfield announced that Brown had been released.[9]

On 21 Sept 2020, York City FC announced that Brown had signed now 30 year old Brown following his release from Halifax Town FC. When asked about Brown for the signing unveiling manager, Steve Watson described Brown as “Physically he is very dominant, dominant vocally as well but apart from that a very good footballer, I very rarely sign players who can’t handle the ball. He’s actually a very good passer of the ball as well which suits the way we always try and play.”.[10] Brown made an instant impact on the fans of the club and was sponsored by the newly formed YCFC Can Clan & Malcom Salter of Salter Decorations for the 2020-2021 season, as confirmed in the Matchday Program for York City FC vs Brackley Town
