Marvin Brown (born July 16, 1983) is an English football forward. After playing league football, he now plays for Conference National side Salisbury City.
Brown was born in Bristol and began his career as a trainee with Bristol City. On his City debut, as a second-half substitute for Alex Meechan in the League Cup defeat away to Nottingham Forest on September 15, 1999 he became their youngest ever player, aged 16 years and 71 days. Brown's league debut came a month later, on October 17, 1999 when he came on as a late substitute for Tony Thorpe in a goalless draw at home to local rivals Bristol Rovers. He made one further league appearance and two in the Football League Trophy, all as substitute, that season.
Unable to establish himself in the first team, Brown joined Torquay United on loan on September 27, 2002,[1] playing three times before returning to Ashton Gate. In January 2003, Brown joined Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season,[2] playing regularly as Cheltenham narrowly failed to avoid relegation back to the Third Division.
Brown played twice for Bristol City the following season before released in May 2004. He subsequently joined Conference side Forest Green Rovers,[3] but appeared only as a substitute before joining Tamworth on September 25, 2004.[4] His stay at Tamworth was not a long one, joining Irish side Cliftonville on trial in November 2004.[5]
In March 2005, Brown returned to the Football League, joining Yeovil Town, but played just twice before being released at the end of the season.
Brown joined Weston-super-Mare at the start of the 2005-06 season and was top scorer that season. He was leading scorer again for Weston when he left on the 8th March 2007 to join Conference South rivals Salisbury City.[6]
His older brother Aaron is also a professional footballer.
