Club career
Barnsley
Brown began his career at the Sheffield Wednesday Academy where he was released at the age of 14.[6] He signed for Guiseley at the age of 16 and played in his first senior match against Selby Town in the West Riding County Cup in October 2014.[7] Brown moved to Barnsley in January 2015 after impressing playing against them in an under-18 match.[7] Brown made his debut for Barnsley against Brentford on 22 October 2016, coming on as a late substitute.[7] After spending the first half of the 2017–18 season with Barnsley under-23s, Brown joined League Two side Chesterfield on a six-month loan on 31 January 2018.[8] Brown played 13 times for the Spireites in 2017–18 and was unable to help them avoid relegation to the National League.[6]
Brown broke into the first team at Oakwell in 2018–19 under Daniel Stendel and impressed playing as a winger and won the EFL Young Player of the Month award for January 2019.[9] He signed a new contract in December 2018.[10] He was sent-off for the first time in his career against Southend United on 2 March 2019.[11] Brown played 38 times in 2018–19, scoring eight goals as the Tykes gained promotion back to the Championship.[12] Brown signed a contract extension with Barnsley in May 2019.[13] In 2019–20, Brown provided nine assists as Barnsley battled against relegation and stayed up after winning their final two matches against Nottingham Forest and Brentford.[14][15]
Stoke City
Brown joined Stoke City on 9 September 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[16][17] He scored his first goal for Stoke in a 1–0 EFL Cup win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 17 September 2020,[18] and his first league goal in a 3–0 win against Reading in November.[19] Brown scored six goals in 46 appearances during the 2020–21 season, as Stoke finished in 14th position.[20][21][22] He scored on the opening day of the 2021–22 season in a 3–2 win against Reading.[23] Stoke began the season in good form and were in play-off contention at the turn of the year but a poor second half saw the team slip down into mid-table.[24] Brown was top scorer with 14 goals which earned him a new three-year contract and saw him named Player of the Year.[25][26] In the 2022–23 season, Brown scored nine goals in 42 appearances as Stoke finished in 16th.[27] He missed the last few matches of the campaign after sustaining a hamstring injury.[28]
International career
Brown was eligible to play international football for both England and Scotland, being eligible for the latter through his Glasgow-born mother.[29] In November 2021, Brown was selected by Scotland for World Cup qualifying matches against Moldova and Denmark.[4] Brown made his senior international debut for Scotland on 12 November 2021, appearing as a late substitute in a 2–0 win against Moldova.[30]
