[edit] Playing career

Brown started his career with Tottenham Hotspur as an apprentice but did not make a first team appearance at White Hart Lane. Instead, he spent several spells on loan at lower league clubs before signing for Colchester United in 1999.

After 5 years and more than 100 starts for the Layer Road club, he moved north to join Hibernian in 2004. Brown struggled to hold down a regular place with Hibernian and was given a free transfer at the end of the 2006-07 season.

On 13 June 2007, Brentford manager Terry Butcher expressed his interest in bringing Brown to Griffin Park. Brown eventually signed for Brentford on 25 June 2007. Brown was transfer listed at the end of his first season with the club. He joined Darlington in a five-month loan deal on 2 August 2008. After his loan spell at Darlington, Brown returned to Brentford after the 5 months to serve as back up for Ben Hamer who was on loan from Reading. Brown came on as a sub for Hamer on the second last day of the season against Darlington to help Brentford secure promotion to League 1. Despite being offered a new deal, Brown left the club when his contract expired on July 1st.

On 11 September 2009, Brown signed with League Two side Northampton Town on a contract until January 2010.
