[edit] Childhood and early career

He originally began playing rugby league for his local club side the Gymea Gorillas while still a young child, went to school at Endeavour Sports High in the Sutherland Shire quickly working his way up through the age groups and representing the school at fullback in their back to back Arrive Alive Cup tournament wins. After some impressive performances for his school he was subsequently awarded with the fullback spot in the Australian schoolboy side in 2005.

[edit] Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks

At the beginning of the 2006 season season many pundits had earmarked Brown as potentially playing a major part in the Sharks new season campaign but for the majority of the season Brown had to settle for playing in the lower grades again for the Cronulla side after being behind David Simmons in the order for the fullback spot and both Darren Albert and Luke Covell on the wings.

His chance didn't come until late in the season with the loss of form and then subsequent dropping of Darren Albert allowing Brown to make his debut on the wing for the Sharks.
