Introducing James Brown, a right-back defender hailing from the Republic of Ireland. Born on the 4th of June 1998, Brown stands at 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighs 12st 1lb (77kg).
Starting his career at Shelbourne, a club in the premier division of Irish football, Brown moved to Drogheda United in January 2019. During his debut season in 2021, he racked up 34 first team appearances and recorded a single goal for the team.
In January 2022, Brown made the leap across the Irish sea, signing for Blackburn Rovers in England's Championship. Here, Brown's appearances were more limited, featuring only once for the first team in the 2021-2022 season.
The following season saw Brown seek further opportunity on loan. Initially, he moved to Stockport County in the English League One in July 2022, where he was given the chance to prove himself with 16 first team outings. Just six months later, he was on the move again, this time to Doncaster Rovers, also in League One, where he clocked up another ten appearances.
In one of the more curious turns of his career, by July 2023, Brown found himself plying his trade in Scotland. Joining Ross County in the Scottish Championship, the details of the transfer remain undisclosed. Brown seemed to find his feet in Scotland, making 31 first team appearances and scoring one goal in his first season. He maintained this level of activity the following season, making a further 27 appearances.
As of June 2025, news of Brown's next career move is yet to be announced. With several seasons of steady first team action under his belt, it will certainly be interesting to see where he ends up next.
