Simon Brown (born 18 September 1983 in West Bromwich) is an English footballer. He currently plays for League Two side Mansfield Town, where he usually plays as a striker, and sometimes on the right wing.
Brown began his career at West Bromwich Albion, but never played a single match for the Baggies' first team. Following two loan spells at Kidderminster Harriers, the pacy winger joined Mansfield for a £50,000 transfer fee in December 2004.
Initially, Brown struggled to make an impact at Mansfield. However, as the 2005/06 season got underway, he began to live up to expectations, and has become a firm fans' favourite at Field Mill. Having been converted from right-winger to striker, he has formed an excellent strike partnership with Richard Barker. Despite being bothered by a hamstring injury, and later a hernia problem, Brown has scored 12 goals in 2005/06.
