Scott David Brown (born 25 November 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Scottish Premiership club St. Johnstone, as a midfielder.[3]

Career

Following a trial in June 2011,[4] Brown moved from Clyde to Bradford City in July 2011.[5] He made his senior debut for them in a 1–1 draw against Northampton Town in the FA Cup on 3 November 2012.[6] He was offered a professional contract by the club on 11 April 2013, alongside Louie Swain.[7][8] In July 2013, it was announced that Brown was close to transferring to Scottish club St. Johnstone,[9] and Bradford City's official website confirmed he would not be given a 2013–14 squad number because of the proposed move.[10] The deal was completed later that month.[11]

Brown made his St. Johnstone debut on 5 October 2013 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Premiership, coming on as a substitute for David Wotherspoon in the 86th minute.[12] He scored his first senior goal on 7 May 2014 in St Johnstone's 3–3 draw at home to Celtic.[13]
