James Brown, born 4 June 1998 (age 28), is a Republic of Ireland right-back with St Patrick’s Athletic. His career has been built in the League of Ireland rather than dressed up with much fuss, and he remains a regular first-team presence in 2026.
His most productive league campaign came with Drogheda United in 2021, when he made 34 appearances and scored one goal. For a full-back, that tells a fairly plain story: steady involvement, modest attacking return, and enough reliability to keep being selected.
Brown is now with St Patrick’s Athletic, where he has made 18 Premier Division appearances in 2026 without scoring. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.
At this stage, Brown’s career is that of an established domestic professional: a right-back who has moved from Drogheda into a regular role at St Patrick’s Athletic, and who continues to feature week to week.
