Troy Anthony Fraser Brown (born 17 September 1990 in Croydon, England) is a Wales under-21 international footballer who plays for Cheltenham Town.
Club career
Ipswich Town
Brown came through the academy at Fulham, having joined the club at the age of seven.[2] Released during the summer of 2009, he spent time on trial with Ipswich Town, having to impress two managers (first Jim Magilton and then Roy Keane). He was offered a one-year contract. In April 2010, he was offered a contract extension.
On 2 May 2010, Brown made his league debut for Ipswich, coming off the bench to replace Jack Colback during a 3–0 defeat to Sheffield United in the final game of the 2009–10 season.[3]
In April 2011 he was awarded a twelve-month contract extension by the club.[4] He rejected the offer in May 2011.[5]
Rotherham United
Brown joined Rotherham United in July 2011 as a free agent making 6 appearances and scoring 1 goal.
Aldershot Town
Brown was then signed up by newly appointed Aldershot manager Dean Holsworth. Brown went on to make 32 appearances and scored 3 goals against Plymouth, Accrington and Torquay. After Aldershot had entered administration Brown was 1 of 13 players to be released by the club.
Cheltenham Town
Brown turned down offers from Torquay United and Bristol Rovers and it was announced on Wednesday 19 June that Brown would be signing for Cheltenham Town on a 2-year contract.
International career
Brown made his debut for Wales at under-17 level on 20 April 2006 in a 2–2 draw with USA.[6] After winning two more caps in friendly matches against Bulgaria, he was named in the squad for both the qualifying round and elite round of the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, winning his last cap at under-17 level in the final group game of the elite round in a 3–0 defeat to Belarus.[7]
In 2007, Brown moved up to under-19 level for the first time and was later part of the squad that played in the 2008 Milk Cup.[8]
