Career
Brown was born in York, North Yorkshire,[1] and spent ten years in Leeds United's youth set up before he moved to Nottingham Forest at the start of the 2007–08 season.[2] In November 2007, he joined Eastwood Town on an initial one-month loan, which was later extended for a second month.[3] He returned to Forest in January 2008, after scoring five goals in ten games with Eastwood.[4] He departed Forest and joined Bradford City on deadline day. After scoring twice in a 4–4 reserve game with Sunderland and another against Hull City,[2] he was handed a contract until the end of the season.[5] He made his debut two days later on 2 February 2008 as a second-half substitute and scored six minutes after he came on to give Bradford a 1–0 victory over Macclesfield Town.[6][7] On 29 April 2008, Brown along with another 12 players out of contract were deemed to be surplus to requirements at Valley Parade and was released by manager Stuart McCall.[8] He played five games for City, all as substitute.[9]
Following his departure, Brown joined Conference National club York City on trial in July 2008,[10] scoring twice in a pre-season friendly game against Tadcaster Albion, which York won 6–0.[11] However, York manager Colin Walker said Brown and two other trialists were only making up the numbers and were unlikely to be signed permanently.[12] Later the same month, he was given a trial at Northern Premier League Premier Division side Guiseley, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 pre-season friendly victory over former side Bradford City.[13] After scoring 2 goals in another pre-season game against a Leeds United XI, he joined Guiseley on a permanent basis.[14]
In January 2009, he joined Northern Premier League Division One North side Halifax Town along with fellow Bradford City player Paul Evans.[15] Brown's debut was as a substitute one day after signing for Halifax, when he scored the final goal during a 4–1 victory against Wakefield.[16]
Brown finished the season with Halifax, but in June 2009, he returned to Conference North side Eastwood Town, where he had previously played on loan.[17]
