On the Men’s side ECFC has made yet another statement signing with the addition of English striker Jordan Brown. Brown, 25, is a native of London, England and joins ECFC from Icelandic club Fylkir after a spell at German side VfR Aalen. Canadian soccer fans will know Brown from his two successful seasons in the Canadian Premier League, where Brown made 42 appearances and scored 8 goals in all competitions for Cavalry FC.
Brown is fondly remembered by CPL fans as the first goal scorer in Cavalry FC’s history in the club’s inaugural match, a 2-1 victory over York9 in Calgary, Alberta in 2019.
“I wanted to be a part of ECFC because of my relationship and trust in President Rob Jenkins. Rob was the main reason for coming here to Peterborough.” Brown said. “Then when I heard about the community support, the city and the people living here, that was the second piece I was looking for. Thirdly, it was very interesting to me to be able to build something brand new with young and hungry players and staff. Being one of the first players in a club’s history is something special I can tell my grandkids; which not many players get to say in their careers playing in Europe.”
In the 2019 Canadian Championship quarterfinals, Brown scored the opening goal as Cavalry FC upset Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps FC, knocking them out of the tournament.
