Playing career

A right sided defender, Brown began her footballing career with Falkirk Girls and was called up to the national under-17 squad in 2004. [2] After leaving school to study at the University of Edinburgh, Brown joined Whitehill Welfare before moving to Hibernian. [3] She also played in the UEFA Women's Champions League for Cypriot side Apollon Limassol alongside fellow Scot Hayley Lauder. [4]

Brown was called up to the full Scotland squad for the first time in August 2008 and won her first cap the following month in a friendly match against Switzerland. [5] [1]

She attended the Scottish Football Association National Performance Centre at the University of Stirling as a PhD student. [6] [7] After graduating, Brown took up a research post at the University of Bath, and in April 2014 she left Hibs to join FA WSL side Bristol City. [8] [9]

In July 2014 Brown was involved in an altercation between her Bristol teammate Natalia Pablos and Birmingham City's Karen Carney. On the strength of Brown's witness statement, Carney was fined, banned and sent on an education course for telling Pablos to "fuck off back to Spain." Pablos branded Carney a "puta madre" (English: mother fucker) during a lively exchange which Brown had drawn to the attention of the match referee. [10]

Season 2007–08 for Hibernian could be split into three distinct parts: a great unbeaten start to the Scottish Premier League season that temporarily took the club to the top of the league; a terrible middle phase which saw a long winless run and the resignation of John Collins as Hibs manager; and, finally, a modest recovery under the management of Mixu Paatelainen, who was appointed in January 2008. This took Hibs into the top half of the SPL, but short of third place and the UEFA Cup spot, which was won by Motherwell.

Season 2005–06 was a season of missed opportunities for Hibernian. The team started strongly in the league, winning 10 of their first 14 games, but this form dipped after Christmas. The Scottish Cup seemed to be opening up for Hibs after they defeated Rangers 3–0 at Ibrox in the fourth round, but they then lost 4–0 in an Edinburgh derby semi–final against Hearts. Hibs lost 3–0 in the quarter–final of the Scottish League Cup at Dunfermline, and were well beaten by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the UEFA Cup.
