Brown is a midfielder whose first appearance for the Fulham first team was in an FA Cup loss to Bristol Rovers on 22 January 2008. He signed a new contract with the Cottagers in January 2008 that will keep him at the club until 2010 and has been highly rated by Fulham reserve team manager Billy McKinlay, who tipped him to be a future star. He had a loan spell with Brentford towards the end of the 2007–08 season, making eleven League appearances and scoring one goal against Grimsby Town.[2] Brown made his first senior League appearance for Fulham against Manchester United on 18 February 2009.
In April 2009 season, he joined Finnish side TPS Turku on loan until 16 August 2009. He scored for his new club in his league debut. On 31 July 2009, he converted a crucial penalty against Tampere United which kept TPS the race for the championship.
Brown's loan with TPS Turku was extended until October to the end of the Finnish Premier League season. He was selected on 4 September 2009 as the Player of the Month for August in the Veikkausliiga. In October he was named the midfielder of the season and later he was nominated as the league player of the season.
On 1 February 2010, Brown joined League One side Bristol Rovers on a one month loan deal.[3] However, after making four appearances for the pirates, he was recalled by Fulham.
During the summer of 2010, Brown joined Bristol Rovers on a five-year deal on a free transfer, and has gone straight into the squad as a regular starting player, after he was very pleased with his short loan spell. Wayne Brown scored his first goal for Bristol Rovers in a 1-1 draw with Charlton at The Valley. During the Easter period of the year, Brown scored goals in consecutive games for the Pirates in their 2-2 draw to Charlton and their 2-1 loss to Bournemouth.
