James Brown, a sturdy defender born on the 4th June 1998 in the Republic of Ireland, is currently plying his trade as a right back for Ross County. The 26-year-old stands at 5ft 9in (1.77m) and carries a substantial frame, weighting in at 12st 1lb (77kg). He appears on the pitch proudly wearing the number 2 jersey.
As of the present day, Brown's market value stands at approximately £170k, an assessment put forward by Transfermarkt. His contract with Ross County is in its twilight, with only 5 months left to run and set to expire on 31 May 2025.
In January 2019, Brown moved within the Premier Division in the Republic of Ireland, leaving Shelbourne to sign for Drogheda United. During his debut 2021 season with Drogheda United, he was a regular feature in the line-up, making 34 appearances and scoring once in the league.
Invited by the allure of English football, Brown transferred to Blackburn Rovers in the English Championship in January 2022, albeit only making a single first team appearance in the league during the 2021 - 2022 season.
In July 2022, having struggled to secure his position in the squad, he was loaned out to Stockport County in League One where he was handed 16 starts during the 2022 - 2023 season. This borrowing pattern continued through to January 2023, where he was sent on loan to Doncaster Rovers in the League Two, making a modest ten first team appearances before the season close.
In July 2023, Brown was finally sold by Blackburn Rovers to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. Proving his worth within the squad, he made 31 appearances and scored once during his inaugural 2023 - 2024 season. He has since made a further 21 appearances in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
Brown has also represented Ross County in the League Cup 2024 - 2025, scoring one goal in four starts and a single appearance as a substitute, and took part in the Premiership Play-offs during the 2023 - 2024 season with two starts.
