A right-handed
batsman, he made his first-class debut for
Middlesex in 1999 and joined
Hampshire in 2004. On 3 October 2008 he joined
Surrey after speculation in late September. On 12 January 2010, Brown announced that he would be spending a three-week spell in Trinidad playing for National League side Clico Preysal Sports Club. He intended to use the opportunity as some additional pre-season training prior to the start of the
2010 County Championship. He missed the whole of the 2010 season after suffering an elbow injury. This injury, as well as a shoulder injury, was still giving him problems the following season, and he was forced to announce his immediate retirement in late July, 2011. In April 2011, Brown returned to his roots to take up the role of chairman at
Burnley Cricket Club. ==References==
