He left Hull in 2010 and moved on to Preston North End shortly after, He spent just under a year at Deepdale and won just 24.4% of games during his time at the helm.

Southend handed him a route back into the game after he left the Lilywhites and he made a decent impression there, hence why they have now brought him back to save them now.

Swindon Town came calling in 2008 and he spent seven months at the County Ground before embarking on spell in India at FC Pune City (who later turned into Hyderabad).

Brown is now back in England and will be looking to keep Southend in the Football League.
