Biographical Text

Troy Brown made over a hundred league appearances for Exeter City between 2015 and 2019. A strong, physical defender, Troy's performances at the heart of the defence in season 2016/17 played a large part in City getting to the League Two play-off final.  

Troy was in the Fulham youth system between the ages of seven and 18 before moving to Ipswich where he played first-team football under Roy Keane. Leaving Portman Road, and by now a Wales under-21 international, Troy was at Rotherham United, Aldershot Town and Cheltenham Town before signing for the Grecians in July 2015. 

He scored his first Exeter City goal as the winner in the 2-1 success at Dagenham & Redbridge in August 2015 but later - after such a strong 2106/17 campaign - Troy’s Exeter career proved to be blighted by injury culminating in knee surgery during the 2018/19 season. Although he was to return to the first team, Troy was released at the end of that season. A short spell at Dundee United followed before another brief stint at Chelmsford City.

Troy has since worked as a sports agent in the London area.
