In August 2011 he signed a one-month loan deal with Aldershot Town. Brown made his debut on 3 September 2011 in a 1–0 home win against Cheltenham Town. Brown was released by West Ham in January 2012.

In 2013–14, following Barnet's relegation to the Conference Premier, Brown had dropped to third choice behind Johnson and Mauro Vilhete, making only three further appearances, before being released on 24 February 2014. Upon leaving the club, he said "Even though I've not played as much football as I would have liked I've enjoyed my time at Barnet Football Club... I'm at a stage in my career where I need to be playing regularly and because of the club's excellent strength in depth it's not been possible at The Hive." Brown joined Bishop's Stortford four days later. In September 2014, Brown had trials with Luton Town. Although the Hatters decided not to sign Brown, they helped facilitate a move to Boreham Wood for him, signing on 3 October 2014.
