Club career
AFC Wimbledon
Jordaan Brown signed for English club AFC Wimbledon in 2010 and didn't play any games. After one season, in 2011, he left Wimbledon on a free transfer to Chipstead.[1]
2012-13
After signing for Staines Town, Brown became a fan favorite, and in his first season played 33 games, scored one goal, and was booked zero times. In January that season, he was rumored to be on the books of an unknown League 1 team, but obviously didn't make the move as he played the day after the window closed in a 1–0 win over Bath City.
FA Cup
Jordaan Brown had a memorable year in 2013–14 at Staines. Staines made a run in the FA Cup by qualifying for the first round proper. In the third round qualifying, Staines took on Sittingbourne. The Swans won 4–1, Jordaan Brown setting up the second. They drew Poole 0–0 in the first leg, but away, beat them 1–0 in the second round. Though they lost to Brentford 5–0 in the first round proper, but the run is remembered in Staines' history.
Conference South
That year, Staines finished 8th, narrowly missing the play-off spot. Brown was however injured earlier in the season. He scored once and played 38 games. He was only booked once that year, before being sighted by top division Finnish team VPS.
UEFA Europa League
In 2014, he signed a contract with Finnish club VPS. When asked why he left Staines, he said simply "I wanted to get a chance to play in Europe," and on his debut he got his wish; against Swedish club Brommapojkarna, played in the Europa League and not only played, but starred with an incredible run down the wing, and a fabulous cross for Jordan Seabrook to finish off. VPS won the match 2–1.
Flekkerøy
In February 2015 he signed for Flekkerøy in the Norwegian Second Division for a small fee.[2]
Return to England
In January 2016, Brown returned to England to sign for Hayes & Yeading United before joining Redditch United that summer.[3] On 10 January 2017, whilst at Redditch, Brown featured as a trialist for Grimsby Town in a 4–3 reserve match win against Rotherham United.[4]
On 11 August 2017, Brown signed for Stafford Rangers.[5] In April 2018, Brown picked up three awards from the club after his debut season.[6]
On 9 June 2018, Brown signed for Stourbridge.[7]
International career
In 2014, Brown confirmed that Jamaica had contacted him with regards to a possible international call-up.[8]
