Club career

Early career

Brown enjoyed a stint at amateur side Bedfont Sports before moving to National League South club Wealdstone.[3] He made over 50 appearances for the Ruislip-based club, scoring twice.[4]

Cardiff City

After a successful trial period, Brown was signed by Cardiff City on 9 January 2018.[5] He was an unused substitute in Cardiff's 3–1 defeat to Norwich City in the EFL Cup.[6]

On 24 January 2019, Livingston confirmed the signing of Brown on loan from Cardiff.[7] He played his first league game on 23 February 2019, playing 63 minutes against Kilmarnock.[8] He was again loaned to Livingston in January 2020.[9]

On 21 July 2020, he rejoined Livingston on a one-year loan, making his third spell at the club.[10]

International career

Born in the London Borough of Hillingdon, he qualifies for Northern Ireland through his mother, who is from Belfast.[11] In September 2019, he was called up to the under-21 side for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Malta and Finland.[11] Six days later he was drafted into the senior squad and made his debut against Luxembourg in a friendly.[11]
