The attacking midfielder Browne made his Hammers debut and sole first-team appearance when he featured against Romanian side Astra Giurgiu in a UEFA Europa League qualifier in August 2016. He was later loaned to Wigan Athletic, appearing in the Latics’ FA Cup fourth-round defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford in January 2017.
Browne, who joined West Ham at the age of eight before working his way up through the Academy of Football ranks, captained the U23s last season, scoring six goals and registering two assists in 13 appearances.
