Career

society

Frankie Brown started playing soccer with the Falkirk Girls. After beginning her studies at Edinburgh University , she moved to Whitehill Welfare and then to the Hibernian LFC . With this she won the league cup in 2011. In August 2001, she and her national team-mate Hayley Lauder played three games for the Cypriot club Apollon Ladies FC in the successful qualification for the 2011/12 UEFA Women's Champions League . She was one of the first female soccer players to attend the Scottish Football Association's National Performance Center at the University of Stirling , where students can combine daily training and their studies. For the 2014 season of the FA WSL Brown joined the Bristol Academy WFC. In their first season they avoided relegation as the penultimate, which did not succeed in 2015, so that Bristol had to play in WSL 2 in 2016 - now as Bristol City WFC . This season they finished second and were able to play in WSL 1 again in the FA WSL Spring Series 2017. They finished the season as the penultimate and improved to third from last place in the 2017/18 season.

National team

Brown has been Scotland's national player since 2008, but her national team qualified for the 2017 European Women's Football Championship for the first time in 2016 . Here she was used in the first group game against England , which was lost 6-0, and in the last group game against Spain , which was won 1-0. Since their teammates had lost the second group game against Portugal 2-1 and the Spaniards had won 2-0 against the Portuguese, the three teams that had all lost to England were tied. Therefore, the goals scored against each other counted and here the Spaniards were better with 2: 1 goals and thus moved into the quarter-finals as second in the group. The Scottish women were left behind with 2: 2 goals as did the Portuguese with 2: 3 goals.

After the European Championship, the Swedish trainer Anna Signeul left the Scottish women and Shelley Kerr became the new national trainer . Under her, Brown was only used in six games. Kerr managed to lead the Scottish women to a World Cup for the first time, for which Brown was not nominated.
