Brown began his career with Shelbourne, joining the senior team in April 2016.[2] He signed for Drogheda United for the 2019 season.[2] He won the 2020 League of Ireland First Division title with Drogheda,[3] and was later selected for the 2021 PFAI Premier Division Team of the Year, as well as being Drogheda's Supporters' Player of the Year.[4] He served as Drogheda's captain.[5]
In late 2021, he underwent trials with English clubs Blackburn Rovers and Bristol Rovers.[6][7] He signed a contract with Blackburn Rovers in January 2022.[3][8][9][10] He made his EFL Championship debut for Blackburn on the final day of the 2021–22 season, starting in the club's 2–1 defeat of Birmingham City.[11] On 29 July 2022, Brown signed for EFL League Two club Stockport County on loan for the 2022–23 season.[12][13] He moved on loan to Doncaster Rovers in January 2023.[14]
On 7 July 2023, Brown joined Ross County on a permanent deal.[15]
Brown has been described as an "attack-minded full-back" who "is competent with both feet, can either cut inside or take the defender down to the byline in order to deliver a cross".[16]
