Career

Preston North End

A former Warrington Town and Manchester United schoolboy player, Brownhill joined the Preston North End youth team at the start of the 2012–13 season, making his first team debut as a substitute in the Football League Trophy on 8 October 2013.[3][4]

Brownhill scored the winning goal in his first league start against Gillingham on 19 October 2013,[5] and drew praise from manager Simon Grayson for his overall performance.[6] He went on to notch an additional two goals in 2013 against Crawley Town and Carlisle United – the second of these, winning the Preston North End Goal of 2013 Award, after a 13 pass move in which every outfield player touched the ball at least once.

Barnsley (loan)

On 14 January 2016, Brownhill joined League 1 side Barnsley on an initial month-long loan deal.[7] He went straight into the starting line-up for Barnsley's next game against Shrewsbury.[8] He scored his first goal for Barnsley in a 3-1 win over Walsall on 5 March 2016.[9] On 1 February 2016 Brownhill loan was extended to the end of the season. [10]

Bristol City

On 2 June 2016, it was announced that Brownhill would join Bristol City on a two-year deal upon his contract expiry at Preston North End.[11]
