Background

Born in Warragul, Victoria, Brown moved to the Gold Coast, Queensland with her family at the age of two and attended Marymount College.[1] Brown grew up playing rugby league but was forced to stop when she was 13 years old, as there were no longer any opportunities for her to play competitively.

On 17 June 2018, Brown signed with the Sydney Roosters for the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership season.[7] On 22 June 2018, Brown captained Queensland in the inaugural Women's State of Origin, scoring her side's only two tries in their 10–16 loss to New South Wales.[8]

In Round 1 of the 2018 NRL Women's season, Brown made her debut for the Sydney Roosters, starting on the wing in their 4–10 loss to the New Zealand Warriors.[9] On 30 September 2018, she started at fullback in the Roosters' 12–34 Grand Final loss to the Brisbane Broncos.
