He originally began playing rugby league for his local club side the Gymea Gorillas while still a young child, went to school at Endeavour Sports High in the Sutherland Shire quickly working his way up through the age groups and representing the school at fullback in their back to back Arrive Alive Cup tournament wins.
While attending Endeavour Sports High School, Brown played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 2005.[1]
At the beginning of the 2006 season season many pundits had earmarked Brown as potentially playing a major part in the Sharks new season campaign but for the majority of the season Brown had to settle for playing in the lower grades again for the Cronulla side after being behind David Simmons in the order for the fullback spot and both Darren Albert and Luke Covell on the wings.
His chance didn't come until late in the season with the loss of form and then subsequent dropping of Darren Albert allowing Brown to make his debut on the wing for the Sharks.
2007 was a successful season for Brown playing in 14 of the 24 first games for the Sharks. An injury to fullback Brett Kearney early in the season gave Brown the opportunity at his preferred position (fullback).
There is also a Mitchell Brown that currently plays in the australian football league for the west coast eagles
