Ethan Brown

Ethan Brown of Kilmarnock was born in Richmond, USA on 1 June 2005 (age 21).

Born on 1 June 2005 (age 21), Ethan Brown is a Canadian central defender whose senior football has been shaped almost entirely at Kilmarnock. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he has worn squad number 25 and been used primarily through the middle of defence.

Ethan Brown made 18 Premiership appearances for Kilmarnock in 2025–26, with 15 starts and three outings from the bench. For a 21-year-old central defender, that level of league involvement points to a player used as more than occasional cover, while one yellow card across those appearances suggests a controlled disciplinary profile.
