Ciaron Brown on loan to Livingston

Ciaron Brown on loan to Livingston

Ciaron Brown left once again for Scotland for his third loan spell with Livingston. For the same reason Aden Flint was being starved of game time, so, too, was Brown.

The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international has transitioned into the centre back position — having played a lot of his football at the Toni Macaroni Arena at left back — this season and has been in and out of the struggling Livingston side.

He has played in half of Livi's 14 games so far, starting each of their last three, but his side are wallowing in 10th place in the table.

Getting a good chunk of senior football minutes under his belt, though, will be exactly what Harris will have wanted.

This spell is crucial for Brown, one would think, given his age and desire to play regular first-team football, so it will be interesting to monitor is progress this term up at Livingston.

strange one this..been on loan up there on and off for nearly 2 years and not much football to show for it...

Defenders can mature quite late. There's no point in us holding on to him if he's not going to come back and play here though. We could have done with Ajayi with a bit of forward planning knowing Bamba had limited mileage left. Not sure what level Brown is at, never seen him play, but would like to see him loaned to a lower Champ club before being played for us?

with hindsight yes but the truth is he was out of contract looking for a club and the best he could do for himself was Rotherham in league one... i know he has come along since but at the time im sure his agent was busy looking for better ?
