The former Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder joined the Valiants in the closing stages of his player career making 56 appearances during a three year spell as player from 2014 to 2017.
He was appointed as assistant manager to Bruno Ribeiro in 2016. Following Ribeiro’s resignation on Boxing Day 2016, Brown was appointed caretaker manager but was unable to save the club from relegation to League Two.
