Career

Queens Park Rangers

Brown worked his way through the youth team of Queens Park Rangers, earning a professional contract in July 2008 having been part of the Football League Youth Alliance winning side the previous season.

He spent the first half of the 2009–10 season on loan at administration-stricken Salisbury City of the Conference National, along with teammate Joe Oastler. He made fourteen appearances for the club, including twelve starts, before returning to Loftus Road before the end of the calendar year. On 24 April 2010 he made his debut in the Football League, replacing Tamás Priskin as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Barnsley at Oakwell.

At the end of the season Neil Warnock offered him a new one-year deal, which he duly signed. "Lee Brown has emerged as an exciting prospect from the QPR youth system in recent years and was rewarded with a one-year deal at QPR in 2009. He, along with several youngsters were given the opportunity to train with the first team in the latter part of the 2008–09 season, after impressing in the reserves. The left back played an important role in QPR's pre-season of 2009–10 and was subsequently given his first squad number in light of the lack of full backs at the club. Brown, along with fellow defender Joe Oastler, was loaned out to Blue Square Premier side Salisbury City. His stay there was curtailed due to Salisbury being unable to renew their loan deals"
