Soccer: All White Tim Brown courted

All Whites midfielder Tim Brown has attracted the attention of clubs in Australia and Britain after his performance in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic.

The 25-year-old gave a no-nonsense display at The Valley and sparked several All Whites attacks against the premiership middleweights.

The English-born Wellingtonian has long dreamed of plying his trade in Britain after serving his football apprenticeship in the United States, first at the University of Cincinnati and most recently with Virginia-based A-League club Richmond Kickers.

Brown has trialled at Doncaster Rovers and Bristol City, being invited back for an extra week by Bristol.
