Josh Brownhill, an English central midfielder, was born on 19 December 1995, standing 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and weighing 10st 12lb (69kg). Brownhill embarked on his professional footballing journey as a trainee at Preston North End, a club situated in England's Championship tier. His debut season in 2013 - 2014 saw him make 24 first team appearances, scoring three goals in league matches. This was followed by 18 appearances and two goals in the 2014 - 2015 season, with a diminished involvement in the subsequent season which witnessed him making only three first team appearances.
In January 2016, Brownhill was loaned out from Preston to Barnsley, a club competing in England's League One. His time there was marked by 22 first team appearances and two goals in league matches for the latter part of the season. Brownhill transferred again in July 2016, this time to Bristol City, another Championship club. This became a platform for further growth for the midfielder, who made 27 first team appearances and scored one goal in the 2016 - 2017 season. He built on this with regular appearances and goals in the following seasons.
Brownhill's consistency caught the eye of Premier League side Burnley, prompting a £9m transfer in January 2020. His inaugural half-season at Burnley was steady, making ten first team appearances. He established himself as a firm fixture of the squad in the subsequent seasons, culminating in a stellar 2024 - 2025 season where he made 42 first team appearances and netted 18 goals.
In an unexpected move, Brownhill transferred from Burnley in June 2025, indicating a new chapter. However, the destination of this transfer has been left undisclosed.
