Educated at Royal School Dungannon, Browne was an Ulster Schools representative player.[1] He played rugby at Trinity College and won selection for a 1951 home international against the Springboks. In what would be his only match for Ireland, Browne scored his team's only try, dodging past three South Africans in the process.[2]
