Brown made his debut for Harlequins in summer 2005 and spent another 16 years with the club before moving to Newcastle and then Leicester, initially on a short-term deal midway through the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n
His performances have earned a couple of contract extensions and he scored five tries in 20 appearances last season.<\/p>\n
Brown says that his longevity is partly thanks to a commitment to conditioning and rehabilitation throughout his career.<\/p>\n
He has long employed famed sprint coach Margot Wells, who helped husband Allan Wells win 100m Olympic gold at Moscow 1980, to put on additional sessions during his free time.<\/p>\n
“Finding someone you train with regularly and who knows your body inside out, I have done that for a long time,” he said of Wells’ involvement.<\/p>\n
“That is all out my own pocket, but little things like that help you feel good on the field and keep you injury free.<\/p>\n
“I think it has paid off. It costs a lot, but in any walk of life, any business, or career, you have to invest your time, money and effort if you want to do things in that career.<\/p>\n
“That is what I have tried to do from day one.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
