Catherine Brown (born 10 January 1994) is an Australian soccer player, who last played for Canberra United in the Australian W-League.[1]

Soccer career[]

Brown played 32 times for Canberra United in the W-League between 2012 and 2015.[2] Her career at W-League ended after she sustained a long-term knee injury while training to play Australian rules football. She attempted to return with a four-week trial for Canberra United before the 2017–18 W-League season but was not offered a contract.[3]

Australian rules football career[]

Ahead of the 2017 AFL Women's season, Brown trialled for the GWS Giants before a knee injury ended her hopes of playing.[4][5]

In 2019, Brown played for the Eastlake Demons in the AFL Canberra First Grade Women's competition.[6]
