Playing career

Aston Villa

Browne began his career in England with Premier League side Aston Villa, featuring in two league matches towards the end of the 1995–96 season.

Raith Rovers

Despite his two starts, Browne was sold to Scottish Premier Division side Raith Rovers in the summer of 1996 and made his debut for the Kirkcaldy side in a 1–0 defeat against Rangers. Featuring in a number of matches that season, Browne played the majority of the following season following Raith's relegation, scoring twice.

In the 1998–99 season, Browne suffered from ill discipline, receiving eleven bookings and one dismissal as Raith finished in eighth place, in a season which saw him fail to add to his two goals from the previous season.

Browne netted four goals in 1999–00, helping Raith to mid-table safety but the following season yielded no goals as Raith survived relegation by just three points.

In 2001–02, however, Raith finished bottom and were relegated to the Scottish Second Division.

Browne featured initially for Raith, playing in a Scottish League Challenge Cup match and league match, but was sent on loan to Arbroath for the remainder of 2002, featuring sixteen times.

Nuneaton Borough

After returning from loan at Arbroath, Browne spent the remainder of the season with Nuneaton Borough [3] and Hinckley United on loan.

Junior Football

Following his season back at Arbroath, Browne moved into junior football with Lochore Welfare, where he was playing up to 2008 before joining St Andrews United. In May 2009, Browne helped St Andrews defeat former club Lochore to clinch promotion to the Scottish Junior Football East Region Premier League.

Internationals

Browne was capped by Scotland under-21 during his time at Aston Villa.
