He spent most of the rest of his time with the club out on loan at various Scottish Football League clubs, including Ayr United [3] and Raith Rovers. [4] Brown initially joined Stenhousemuir on loan in October 2007. [5] He then returned to Ochilview on loan in February 2008, having returned to Hibernian the previous month. [6]

Brown signed for Forfar Athletic in the summer of 2008 on a free transfer. [1] During his first season at Station Park, Brown played in a Scottish Cup tie against Rangers, where he came up against childhood contemporary Kris Boyd. [7] Brown left Forfar at the end of the 2009–10 season, when he signed a one-year deal with Stenhousemuir. [8]

Brown signed for Ayr United during the 2012 summer transfer window. [9] He left Ayr United after the 2012–13 season and moved to junior club Hurlford United.

He has said to have retired in 2019.
