Born in Kirkcaldy, Brown started his career as a youth with Wemyss Athletic before coming to the attention of Hibernian, where he played 113 times and scored 33 goals in a four-year spell. Deciding to try his luck south of the border, he moved on to Darlington, where he spent the following two years, and then enjoyed three seasons with Chesterfield, where he was a member of their 1935-36 Third Division North championship winning side. He came to Plymouth later in 1936, but was not a regular and moved on to Reading in 1938. During the following years he played a few wartime games for Wolves and then joined Hull City in 1946 for his last season in League football.
