Curtis Levi Haynes-Brown (born 15 April 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a center back for Lowestoft Town after having been released by Conference National side Cambridge United at the end of the 2012/13 season.

Haynes-Brown began his career at Colchester United progressing through their youth system before being released in the summer of 2008, without making a senior appearance. He dropped into non-league football for three seasons with AFC Sudbury and Lowestoft Town before signing for Yeovil Town.

Career

Haynes-Brown was born in Ipswich, Suffolk started his career at Colchester United spending seven years in the youth and reserve sides, during this time having a three-week trial for Ipswich Town,[2] before being released in May 2008.[3] He then signed for Isthmian League Division One North side AFC Sudbury, where he spent two seasons making over fifty appearances for the Suffolk side.[3] Haynes-Brown then moved to Isthmian League Premier Division side Lowestoft Town signing a two-year contract and made 17 appearances helping them to the brink of promotion to the Conference South losing the Isthmian Premier League play-off final against Tonbridge Angels.[4]

In July 2011, Haynes-Brown went on trial with Football League Two side Crewe Alexandra[5] but failed to earn a contract.[6] Following this, Haynes-Brown then went on trial with Football League One side Yeovil Town, this move angered Lowestoft's joint-manager Ady Gallagher who claimed Yeovil showed his club a lack of respect.[7] Despite this Haynes-Brown signed a two-year contract with Yeovil, who paid Lowestoft a fee for his services.[8] On 6 August 2011, Haynes-Brown made his debut in the 56th minute by coming on a substitute for Max Ehmer in a 2–0 defeat against Brentford.[9] On 23 August 2012, Haynes-Brown joined League Two side AFC Wimbledon on loan for a month.[10] On 25 August 2012, Haynes-Brown made his AFC Wimbledon debut in a 5–1 defeat against Bradford City and had the ignominy of scoring an own goal.[11] After being injured in his first game for Wimbledon, Haynes-Brown appeared six times for Wimbledon in total before he returned to Yeovil at the completion of his two-month loan deal. On 22 November, after only appearing once for Yeovil since his return from Wimbledon, Haynes-Brown joined Conference National side Cambridge United on loan until January 2013.[12]

On 4 January 2013, Haynes-Brown signed for Cambridge United on a free transfer from Yeovil Town signing a deal until the end of the season.[13] Haynes-Brown made 14 further appearances for Cambridge before being released at the end of the season.[14]

In July 2013, Haynes-Brown returned to Lowestoft Town on a two-year contract.[15]
