Jonathan Brown (born 24 April 1990 in South Africa) is a professional footballer, who currently plays for Bonnyrigg Rose.
He has previously played for Heart of Midlothian, Livingston, Stirling Albion, and Brechin City.
Career[]
Having come through the youth team ranks at Heart of Midlothian, Brown joined Livingston on a season-long loan in August 2009[1] and whilst at the club scored his first Scottish League goal in January 2010 against Elgin City.[2] He ended the season with a Third Division Championship medal.
The following season, he joined Stirling Albion, again for a season-long loan, but this time at First Division level.[3] The season finished disappointingly with relegation as the club finished bottom of the table.
On 8 July 2011 Brown left Hearts and joined Livingston on a one-year deal after releasing himself from his contract.[4]
In July 2012 Brown joined Brechin City.[5] He was released by Brechin on 6 May 2014.[6]
In June 2014, Brown signed for Junior club Bonnyrigg Rose.[7]
Brown announced his retirement from football on 24 April 2021 after missing most of the 2020-21 season through injury.[8][9] Brown came out of retirement in December 2021. He was loaned to Dundonald Bluebell for a few weeks to pick up his fitness. He was still under contract with Rose during his retirement.[10]
International career[]
Brown has represented Scotland at under-16, under-18 and under-19 levels. He was last capped at under-19 international level, playing in the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship elite qualification.[11] He is also eligible to represent South Africa at international level.[12]
