In between his South Sydney stints he played the 1990 off season with English club Trafford Borough[6] and then returned to Australia for the 1991 season with Canterbury (first grade player #559),[7] where he featured as a centre and five-eighth, with a highlight being a hat-trick of tries in a win over Eastern Suburbs.[8]
After returning to South Sydney for a further two years,[9] Brown joined Western Suburbs (first grade player #974)[10] in the 1994 season and played lock in the first three rounds. He was then sacked by Western Suburbs following his involvement in a brawl outside Canterbury Leagues Club and finished the season with Penrith (first grade player #361).[11][12]
Used as a forward, Brown continued to play for Penrith for another four seasons, which included two finals appearances[13][14] in the 1997 Super League season.[15]
From 1999 to 2001 he returned to play in England for the Salford Red Devils (first grade player #965),[16] which he captained.[17]
