Browne was educated at Christ Church Grammar School in Claremont, Western Australia, excelling at both cricket and football.
In late 2006 Browne became very close to being included in the starting lineup before several matches, before suffering a further injury, meaning he did not play a game for the club in over 2 years.
In 2008, he again struggled to break back into the Fremantle side, playing for Claremont for the first half of the season, before the mid-season retirement of Peter Bell opened up a spot for Browne.
[4] In May 2010, Browne received approximately $40,000 in redress, representing injury payments not awarded to him during the 2009 season when he was diagnosed with depression and ruled unavailable by Fremantle.
In March 2012, Browne was named as the captain of the Claremont Football Club, succeeding Clancy Rudeforth, who had retired at the end of the previous season.
