Junior Brown (born 7 May 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town.

Brown began his career at hometown club Crewe Alexandra, for whom he made a solitary appearance as substitute in a league match with Brighton on 2 February 2008.

In 2009 he joined Northwich Victoria and made the left full-back position his own. After the Vics' problems off the field he signed for Fleetwood Town.[2] He was a success at the club[3] and his form led to his being called up to the England C squad to face Italy on 28 February 2012 at Fleetwood Town's Highbury Stadium.

Brown joined League One side Tranmere Rovers on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season on 6 March 2014.[4]

On 31 July 2014 Brown terminated his contract with Fleetwood and agreed to join League Two side Oxford United on a 12-month contract.[5]

Brown joined Mansfield Town on a permanent transfer in January 2015 having been on loan at the club since November 2014.[6]
