Career[]

Ayr United[]

Born in Bellshill, Brownlie started his career at Ayr United. Brownlie debuted for the Honest Men on 8 July 2012 in the first round of the Scottish Challenge Cup, playing the full match of a 3–1 defeat, away to East Stirlingshire.[2] Two weeks later, Brownlie made his first Scottish Football League appearance, playing the full match in a 1–1 Scottish Division Two draw with Stenhousemuir at Somerset Park.[3] In the last of his 16 league games that season, a 2–1 loss at Forfar Athletic, Brownlie was sent off after two bookings, the first for conceding a penalty kick, with a foul on Chris Templeman and the second for dissent after the referee's decision to award the spot kick.[4]

Partick Thistle and Cowdenbeath[]

In August 2013, Brownlie joined Partick Thistle. Brownlie scored in a 4–0 win over Falkirk for the Firhill club's under-20's that month[5] but did not make a senior appearance and was loaned out to Scottish Championship club Cowdenbeath on 17 January 2014 for the remainder of that season.[6] Brownlie made 11 league appearances for the Blue Brazil and also played their four play-off matches as they retained their status in the second tier of Scottish football, with victories over former club Ayr United and Dunfermline Athletic respectively.[7]

At that end of the season Brownlie joined Cowdenbeath on a permanent deal.[8] Brownlie played 23 league games in a season which ended in relegation, although Brownlie did manage to score his first senior career goal on 14 February 2015, away to Dumbarton in a match the Blue Brazil won 2–1.[9]

Queen of the South[]

On 17 June 2015, Brownlie returned to the Scottish Championship, after signing for Queen of the South. The Queens manager at that time, James Fowler, had been a team-mate of Brownlie's at Central Park, in a loan spell in Fife in 2014 from parent club Kilmarnock.[10]

On 28 April 2018, Brownlie extended his contract to remain with the Doonhamers until the end of the 2018-19 season.[11]

Before the start of the 2018-19 season, Brownlie picked up an injury that kept him out of the first-team squad at Palmerston until February 2019.

On 26 February 2019, Brownlie started his first match of the 2018-19 season, in a 1-0 defeat at Cappielow versus Greenock Morton.[12]

On 23 May 2019, Brownlie extended his contract with Queens until the end of the 2019-20 season.[13]

On 5 October 2019, Brownlie scored the winning goal in the Doonhamers 1-0 win versus Partick Thistle at Firhill Stadium in the 60th minute.[14]

Partick Thistle (Second Spell)[]

During December 2019, Brownlie signed a pre-contract to join Partick Thistle during the 2020 close season, although on 27 January 2020, Brownlie departed the Doonhamers and signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Thistle for an undisclosed fee before the end of the January 2020 transfer window.[15]
