The Birmingham City youngster who plays in midfield joined Brum at the age of ten. After leaving school, he took up a scholarship with the club in July 2012. His goal against West Brom’s youth team helped Birmingham reach the last 16 of the FA Youth cup. On his first league start for Birmingham, on 18th January 2014, Brown was man of the match and he impressed a week later in the FA CUP defeat to Swansea. Between those two matches, he signed his first professional contract with Birmingham, a two-and-a-half-year deal to run until 2016. That contract finishes this summer.He has made 11 first team appearances in total for the Blues. He has been a member of the England U16 U17 U18 U20 squads since 2012 producing 19 appearances for his country.
Was reading a few Brum forums regarding him, so this is just stuff they had mentioned, apparently he has an attitude problem and there are rumours he may have taken a leak in Gary Rowetts pond. Hopefully these are unfounded, they did mention how talented he was but that he had dropped down the pecking order presumably due to disciplinary reasons.
Never peed in anyone’s pond but do not see that as a big problem,we know a lot of talent comes with attitude,
Benitez has just found that out,
We need to look at all the talent before we end up paying for it,the missing part so far of the Westham way is the new talent coming through,
Always the words of wisdom from bubs.Couldn’t agree more.
