Career
Ayr United
Born in Bellshill, Brownlie started his career at Ayr United. Brownlie debuted for The Honest Men on 8 July 2012 in the first round of the Scottish Challenge Cup, playing the full match of a 3–1 defeat, away to East Stirlingshire.[2] Two weeks later, Brownlie made his first Scottish Football League appearance, playing the full match in a 1–1 Scottish Division Two draw with Stenhousemuir at Somerset Park.[3] In the last of his 16 league games that season, a 2–1 loss at Forfar Athletic, Brownlie was sent off after two bookings: the first for conceding a penalty kick, with a foul on Chris Templeman and the second for dissent after the referee's decision to award the spot kick.[4]
Partick Thistle and Cowdenbeath
In August 2013, Brownlie joined Partick Thistle. Brownlie scored in a 4–0 win over Falkirk for the Firhill club's under-20's that month[5] but did not make a senior appearance and was loaned out to Scottish Championship club Cowdenbeath on 17 January 2014 for the remainder of that season.[6] Brownlie made 11 league appearances for the Blue Brazil and also played their four play-off matches as they retained their status in the second tier of Scottish football, with victories over former club Ayr United and Dunfermline Athletic respectively.[7]
At that end of the season Brownlie joined Cowdenbeath on a permanent deal.[8] Brownlie played 23 league games in a season which ended in relegation, although Brownlie did manage to score his first senior career goal on 14 February 2015, away to Dumbarton in a match the Blue Brazil won 2-1.[9]
Queen of the South
On 17 June 2015, Brownlie returned to the Scottish Championship, after signing for Queen of the South.
Queens manager, James Fowler had been a team-mate of Brownlie's at Central Park, after a loan spell in Fife in 2014 from parent club Kilmarnock.[10]
