He spent most of the rest of his time with the club out on loan at various Scottish Football League clubs, including Ayr United^[5] and Raith Rovers.^[6] Brown initially joined Stenhousemuir on loan in October 2007.^[7] He then returned to Stenhousemuir on loan in February 2008, having returned to Hibs the previous month.^[8]

[edit] Forfar Athletic

Brown signed for Forfar Athletic in the summer of 2008 on a free transfer.^[1] During his first season at Forfar, Brown played in a Scottish Cup tie against Rangers, where he came up against childhood contemporary Kris Boyd.^[9]

Brown was selected by the Scotland national under-21 football team.^[9]
