Scott David Brown (born 25 November 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Scottish Championship club Raith Rovers as a midfielder.[4]

Career

Following a trial in June 2011,[5] Brown moved from Clyde to Bradford City in July 2011.[6] He made his senior debut for them in a 1–1 draw against Northampton Town in the FA Cup on 3 November 2012.[7] He was offered a professional contract by the club on 11 April 2013, alongside Louie Swain.[8][9] In July 2013, it was announced that Brown was close to transferring to Scottish club St Johnstone,[10] and Bradford City's official website confirmed he would not be given a 2013–14 squad number because of the proposed move.[11] The deal was completed later that month.[12]

Brown made his St Johnstone debut on 5 October 2013 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Premiership, coming on as a substitute for David Wotherspoon in the 86th minute.[13] He scored his first senior goal on 7 May 2014 in St Johnstone's 3–3 draw at home to Celtic.[14]

He signed for Dumbarton on loan on 20 August 2015.[15] He left at the end of his loan deal in January 2016.[16]

He moved to Raith Rovers in May 2022.[17]
