Playing career

A talented youngster who played for the South East Cougars in Football Federation Victoria's Victorian Champions League program, Brown made her senior debut for Melbourne Victory at only 16 years of age in November 2010 against Sydney FC.

Despite being a regular starter and an influential figure in the team over the next two years, Brown didn't score her first goal for the Victory until the final round of the 2011/12 regular season against Adelaide United. Having had her most impressive season to date, Brown was rewarded by winning the Westfield W-League Young Player of the Season award.

In the 2012–13 season Brown suffered a season ending ACL injury. In her first match back for the 2013–14 season her right knee buckled in the dying stages of the game and she suffered a reoccurrence of her ACL injury, which ended her season.

International career

Having spent years playing in the youth teams of Australia, Brown made her international senior debut against New Zealand in June 2012. She quickly followed this up with her maiden international goal in a match against Haiti in the USA.
