Liam Brown (born 6 April 1999) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for East Kilbride as a midfielder. He has previously played for Motherwell, Edinburgh City, Queen's Park and at Stenhousemuir on-loan until January 2023.

Club career

Brown started his career at Queen's Park, making his debut at 17 in a 3–0 defeat at home to East Stirlingshire on 13 February 2016.[1]

Brown signed for Motherwell in June 2017, initially to play in the under-20 side.[2] He made his first team debut on 12 May 2018, as a substitute in a 3–0 win against Hamilton Academical.[3]

He was released by Motherwell in 2019 and then spent two years with Edinburgh City. Brown returned to Queen's Park in June 2021, signing a three-year contract. Queen's Park paid a transfer fee to acquire Brown, which was the first time the formerly amateur club had done this in its 154-year history.[4] He was loaned to Stenhousemuir early in the 2022–23 season.[5]

In June 2023, Brown joined Lowland League side East Kilbride.[6]
