Club career
Norwich City as a youth player joining from Interwood in 2012.[2] He was part of the squad that won the 2012–13 FA Youth Cup, 4–2 on aggregate over Chelsea and the Norfolk Senior Cup that same season with a 2–0 win over Wroxham.[2] At the end of the 2013–14 season, he was released by Norwich and subsequently joined Charlton Athletic. It was announced in May 2015 that he was to be released from Charlton.[3][4]
Following his release from Charlton, Browne went on trial with National League club Aldershot Town.[5] During his time on trial he scored in friendlies against Basingstoke Town and Chelsea under-21s,[5] and was signed on 31 July 2015.[5] Browne made his début and scored his first goal for Aldershot in the 2–1 home defeat to Gateshead on 8 August 2015 in the National League.[6]

When you see someone as exciting as Rhys you want to have these type of players in your squad".[5]
