Brown, who kicked three goals on his league debut, was a rover from Geelong District. He couldn't play with Geelong in 1943 as they weren't competing due to the war, so he instead spent the season with Fitzroy.[1][2] In 1944 Geelong returned to the league and he appeared in eight of the opening nine rounds of the season with them.[3] He missed the rest of the year and all of the 1945 season as he was serving as a Leading Aircraftman in the Royal Australian Air Force.[4]

He proved a useful forward when resting in the forward pockets and contributed a career best 26 goals in 1947, from 15 games.[3] His final appearance for Geelong was in their 17-point preliminary final loss to North Melbourne in 1950.[3]

Having received a good offer from Tatura, Brown joined the Goulburn Valley Football League club as captain-coach in 1951.[5] Brown was the league's leading goal-kicker that year with 86 goals. He would then lead Tatura to back to back premierships in 1952 and 1953.
