About Wayne Brown (defender, born 1977)

  • Wayne Lawrence Brown (born 20 August 1977) is an English football coach and former player who is currently manager of Isthmian League North Division side Maldon & Tiptree. Brown began his playing career with Ipswich Town where he progressed through the club's Academy.
  • He made his professional debut on loan at Colchester United in 1997, going on to make 40 league appearances for Ipswich.
  • He also had loan spells with Queens Park Rangers, Wimbledon and Watford, before permanently moving to the latter in 2002.
  • He made 25 league appearances for Watford in two years with the club, failing to establish himself in the first team.
  • Brown was again loaned out to Gillingham in 2003, and once more to Colchester in 2004.
  • He sealed a move to Colchester following his loan, where he made over 120 league appearances and helped guide the club to the Championship for the first time in their history in 2006.
  • He was also named the club's Player of the Year for his efforts. After one season in the Championship with Colchester, Brown moved to Hull City for £450,000, spending two years with the side.
  • However, he failed to make a mark in the first-team, making 42 league appearances, though he did help the club to promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2008.
  • He was twice loaned out by the club, to Preston North End, and Leicester City.
  • During his loan period with Leicester, Brown was a member of the League One title-winning team.
  • He joined Leicester permanently in the summer of 2009, but spent just one season with the club as they reached the Championship play-off places.
  • Brown rejoined Preston in 2010 after leaving Leicester by mutual consent, but could only manage 13 league appearances in the 2010–11 season.
  • After being deemed surplus to requirements, Brown finally wound down his playing career with local side Bury Town in 2011. Brown returned to Colchester United in 2012 in a coaching role, assisting John McGreal in managing the under-16 side, before later being appointed joint-manager of the under-18 side alongside McGreal.
  • Brown spent three matches as caretaker manager of Colchester in December 2015, although he returned to his under-18s coaching role following the appointment of Kevin Keen as manager.
  • He has since managed the Colchester United under-23 side and was then appointed manager at Maldon & Tiptree.
