The Arrows also have Canadian international Ross Braude at scrum half.
He is one of two members of the inaugural Arrows senior academy class from 2020 to feature for the senior team in 2022, joining fellow academy graduate Mitch Voralek.
Brown is a graduate of the Ontario Blues junior men’s provincial program and played his grassroots rugby with the Ajax Wanderers.
