Luke Brown (footballer, born 1992)

Luke "Lukey B" Brown (born 22 September 1992) is a professional Australian rules football player who plays for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was first recruited by incoming club Greater Western Sydney as a pre-selection and was then traded to Adelaide during the 2011 trade week.

After strong performances for Norwood in the SANFL, Brown was twice named an emergency for Adelaide in mid-2012. He ultimately made his debut in round 16, against Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium, and went on to play three games for Adelaide that season as well as playing in the SANFL Grand Final for Norwood.

Brown established himself in Adelaide's team as a negating small defender in 2013, filling the role vacated by retired veteran Michael Doughty and playing 21 of a possible 22 games. He signed a two-year deal with the club early in the year, and was nominated for the 2013 AFL Rising Star award in the final round of the season. Brown continued to play this role to great effect in 2014 and 2015, playing every game in both seasons, keeping the opposition's best small forward to a goal a game or less, and developing his attacking game with a disposal efficiency of 80.2% in 2015. During the year, Brown signed another two-year contract with Adelaide.
