Previous club: Huddersfield Town.

Signed: July 2005.

A large number of players departed Lincoln City during summer 2005 thereby leaving a vast void, especially in midfield. The signing of Nat Brown helped to fill those gaps in the squad, as he can play at right-back, centre-half, midfield and as a striker.

Brown began his career as a trainee at Huddersfield in August 1998 but struggled to become a first team regular. His best season occurred in 2003/04 when Huddersfield won promotion from Division 3 (League Two). However, he only started 7 League One games during the 2004/05 season.

Brown, despite having a year on his contract remaining at Huddersfield, was given permission by Huddersfield Town manager Peter Jackson to leave the club. In June 2005, it appeared that he would join Shrewsbury on a two-year contract but the transfer fell through. Instead, he has signed for Lincoln on a two-year contract.

Jackson spoke of Brown's impending departure by saying: "It's a shame for Nat, as he's a great kid with a brilliant attitude and undoubted ability. The only problem is that I cannot guarantee him first-team football."

Overall, he made 83 appearances for Huddersfield, but failed to score for the West Yorkshire club.

Brown began his career at Lincoln City as a goal scoring revelation. Sadly, by the end of the season, he was receiving criticism from some of Lincoln's fans. In fairness to Brown, who works tirelessly for the team, he spent the entire season in an unfamiliar midfield role.

If Brown is given his opportunity to play as a centre-half then he could prove one of Lincoln's best players of the 2006/07 season. That prediction proved correct, as Brown was given one of the two vacant centre-half spots. His reward was to win the Lincoln City FC Away Player of the Season for 2006/07.

A change of manager in 2007 saw Brown slip out of favour but he did act as cover at both centre-half and right-back when injuries caused others to miss out.
