Club career

AFC Wimbledon

Jordaan Brown signed for English club AFC Wimbledon in 2010 and didn't play any games. After one season, in 2011, he left Wimbledon on a free transfer to Chipstead. ^[1]

Staines Town

2012-13

After signing for Staines Town, Brown became a fan favorite, and in his first season played 33 games, scored one goal, and was booked zero times. In January that season, he was rumored to be on the books of an unknown League 1 team, but obviously didn't make the move as he played the day after the window closed in a 1–0 win over Bath City.

2013-14

FA Cup

Jordaan Brown had a memorable year in 2013–14 at Staines. Staines made a run in the FA Cup by qualifying for the first round proper. In the third round qualifying, Staines took on Sittingbourne. The Swans won 4–1, Jordaan Brown setting up the second. They drew Poole 0–0 in the first leg, but away, beat them 1–0 in the second round. Though they lost to Brentford 5–0 in the first round proper, but the run is remembered in Staines' history.

Conference South

That year, Staines finished 8th, narrowly missing the play-off spot. Brown was however injured earlier in the season. He scored once and played 38 games. He was only booked once that year, before being sighted by top division Finnish team VPS.

VPS

UEFA Europa League

In 2014, he signed a contract with Finnish club VPS. When asked why he left Staines, he said simply "I wanted to get a chance to play in Europe," and on his debut he got his wish; against Swedish club Brommapojkarna, played in the Europa League and not only played, but starred with an incredible run down the wing, and a fabulous cross for Jordan Seabrook to finish off. VPS won the match 2–1.

Flekkerøy

In February 2015 he signed for Flekkerøy in the Norwegian Second Division for a small fee. ^[2]

Return to England

In January 2016, Brown returned to England to sign for Hayes & Yeading United before joining Redditch United that summer. ^[3] On 10 January 2017, whilst at Redditch, Brown featured as a trialist for Grimsby Town in a 4–3 reserve match win against Rotherham United. ^[4]

On 11 August 2017, Brown signed for Stafford Rangers. ^[5] In April 2018, Brown picked up three awards from the club after his debut season. ^[6]

Brown completed the next 3 league matches, but surcome to injury on his fifth Southern League Premier Division Central appearance, as Tamworth hosted local rivals Nuneaton Borough at home on 30 August 2021.

Following all of September on the side lines, Brown returned to first team action on 2 October 2021, as Tamworth defeated Leiston 3-1 away from home in the 3rd qualifying round of the FA Cup, with Brown completing the full match. ^[11]

Tamworth returned to Southern League Premier Division Central action the following week as they came up against Rushall Olympic at Dales Lane. Brown's game was ended after just 6 minutes, as a hamstring injury forced him off, being replaced by his former Stourbridge teammate Martin Riley. Tamworth went on to pick up a 2-1 victory, with both goals coming from Dan Creaney in injury time. ^[12]

Brown scored his first goal for Tamworth in what turned out to be the player's last game for the club on 19 March 2022, when he scored a second half leveller to help the club draw 2-2 away at AFC Rushden & Diamonds in a Southern League Premier Division Central fixture. ^[13]
