Career
Brown began his career with Greenock Morton, under the management of Allan McGraw. He made his debut at the age of seventeen in May 1998 against Raith Rovers, and made a total of twenty league and cup appearances for the club before being released in 1994. A subsequent spell at Stranraer was plagued by injury which eventually forced Brown to retire from the professional game.
Resuming his playing career at Junior level with Largs Thistle after around eighteen months out, Brown later moved on to Port Glasgow. Injuries finally forced Brown to end playing after six seasons with the Undertakers, but he rejoined the club as manager at the end of 2008.
