Ethan Brown

Ethan Brown of Kilmarnock was born in Richmond, USA on 1 June 2005 (age 21).

Ethan Brown, born on 1 June 2005 (age 21), is a Canadian central defender with Kilmarnock. At a commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he is built for the middle of the back line, and he wears squad number 25.

Kilmarnock has provided the substance of Brown’s senior career so far. Across two seasons he has made 18 league appearances, all of them coming in 2025-26, when he also added one League Cup appearance and one Scottish Cup appearance.

That gives him 20 appearances in all competitions for the club, and he remained a regular first-team presence through 2025-26. Brown’s career is still at an early stage, but its shape is clear enough for now: a young Canadian defender making his way at Rugby Park.
