Alex Brown (born 30 September 1992)[2] is an English footballer who plays as a central or right-sided midfielder for Maidstone United.
Career
Midfield player Brown came through the ranks at Gillingham, signing his first professional contract at the club in the 2011 close season.[3] Shortly afterwards, in September 2011, Brown got his first taste of senior football as he went out on loan to Isthmian League Division One South outfit Whitstable Town.[4]
On the last day of the 2011-12 season, Brown made his first team debut for Gillingham, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute in the side's 2-0 win against Morecambe.[5]
In October 2012 Brown moved out on loan to Corby Town of the Conference North with fellow Gills player Jack Evans.[6]
On 10 December 2012 Brown once again signed on loan for an Isthmian League Division One South side, this time signing an initial month's deal at Maidstone United.[7] He made his debut a day later, coming off the bench and getting an assist in a 3-1 win against Three Bridges.[8] Brown got his first goal for the club in his second appearance, scoring the equalising goal against Halifax Town in a FA Trophy game that ended 2-1 to the Shaymen.
On 3 January 2013, Brown was one of seven Gillingham players made available for a free transfer by manager Martin Allen.[9] Brown subsequently signed permanently for Maidstone, signing a contract until the end of the 2012-13 season.[10]
