In a release from the club, Crew general manager Issa Tall said Brown’s journey is “a proud moment” for the organization.
Brown has already made two appearances with the Crew’s senior squad on short-term loan agreements, and has logged 34 appearances, 3 goals and 2 assists with MLS NEXT Pro affiliate Columbus Crew 2.
The Columbus native was also part of the 2023 MLS NEXT All-Star Game and has experience with the U.S. U-18 Men’s Youth National Team, including friendlies against Peru and Japan last year.
“To wear this badge and represent not just myself and my family, but this amazing club and the Columbus community, is everything I’ve worked toward,” Brown said. “My gratitude goes first to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m also extremely thankful to my family, coaches, and everyone whose support and belief in me have made this moment possible. This signature isn’t the end goal—it’s just the beginning. The hard work continues.”
