Nico Brown, a native of Baltimore, joined Lexington Sporting Club in 2023 with an impressive soccer resume dating to his youth days.
The experience translated for him with Brown becoming another fan favorite with eight (8) goals, making him the club’s second all-time leading scorer. He also scored in Lexington SC’s first ever win on April 15.
In his youth, while at McDonogh School, he was a two-time USYSA National Championship and MVP, and claimed the USYSA National Championship Golden Boot in 2015.
He also spent time with Baltimore Celtic club and was in the D.C. United academy during his senior season and represented Jamaica at the U17 level due to his Jamaican heritage.
In 2016, Brown began his colligate career at NCAA Division-I Loyola University Maryland, totaling nine goals in 62 matches across three years. It was there that Brown would be named All-Patriot League Second Team in 2018 and All-Patriot League Third Team in 2019.
Brown’s professional debut came with the National Independent Soccer Association’s Maryland Bobcats during the 2021 spring season. He soon joined Greenville Triumph of USL League One, where he played in 24 matches through the 2022 season, scoring three goals.
“I’m very grateful the staff and club have faith in me to give me this opportunity,” Brown said before the 2023 season. “Being a signee of the inaugural team bringing professional football to the city of Lexington is an honor for me, and I am motivated and cannot wait to grow my career.

“Nico has electric pace and is a tricky player who loves to beat players with his dribble,” said LSC Head Coach Sam Stockley. “He works very hard and brings high level playing experience from the professional and international side. We think he has massive potential and is a perfect fit for our player profile.”
