He scored a last minute winner. In the second round he was again a scoring substitute but Bradford lost 2-1. His league debut came in December in a goalless draw at Scunthorpe United. He scored his one and only league goal for Bradford - again in the 90th minute - after coming on as substitute against Blackpool in March.

The following season he again scored a Johnstone's Paint Trophy goal. Brown was given a three-match suspension after losing his appeal against a red-card in Bradford's 4-1 loss against Blackpool and was released by City at the end of the 2006–07 season after making just seven appearances.cite news
