"He had a fallout": Premiership coach encourages North forward to seek new club

2020-09-23T16:41+10:00

Mark Williams has encouraged opposition clubs to chase North Melbourne's Ben Brown in the upcoming trade period, believing a change could do him the world of good.

The 27-year-old is currently out of contract and weighing up his future as multiple clubs signal their interest in signing the gun forward.

Before struggling with a knee injury this year which restricted him to nine games, Brown had kicked over 60 goals in three consecutive seasons.

Williams suspects Brown’s relationship with the Kangaroos has become fractured and was confident a change of scenery could see him get back to his best.

“Ben Brown is definitely someone that (teams) should be looking at,” the Power premiership coach said on SEN’s Dwayne’s World.

“He offers a lot more than what he’s shown this year, I think he’s struggled with a knee injury and I think there is (an issue) with the connection between him and the club.

“He had a fallout without any doubt, if you’re looking closely at that, if you can change the environment then you might get the best Ben Brown that we’ve all seen and loved.

“I look forward to seeing what he can do next year as well.”

Brown remains one of the hottest out of contract prospects heading into the trade period, which gets underway on November 4.
