Hassocks sign former Brighton and Hove Albion and Woking man - and he has made an instant impact
Capable of playing as either a defender of midfielder, Brown moves to the Beacon having taken a break from football after a spell playing in the United States.
A combative individual, Brown has already made quite the mark in a Robins shirt by being involved in all three goals in Hassocks’ comeback from 3-0 down to earn a point against Loxwood on Saturday.

Hide AdHe’d only been on the pitch for four minutes when he linked up well with Spencer Slaughter and Phil Johnson to help create Harvey Enticknap’s first senior goal for the club.
Brown himself added the second, scoring just seven minutes into his debut after being teed up by Slaughter.
He then played a part in the third, releasing Johnson down the left with Johnson’s low cross being slid in at the far post by Slaughter.
Brown was a member of Brighton and Hove Albion’s academy from Under 8 level right through to Under 18s, after which he moved to be a part of Woking’s youth set up.
