Walsall exercised his option year at the end of the 2024-25 campaign to extend his stay at Bescot ahead of next season. 

The 21-year-old is still awaiting his League Two debut for the Saddlers but did feature three times in the EFL Trophy. 

Browne, who arrived in September last year after rejecting a new contract from Birmingham City, also gained experience on loan at Tamworth. 

Despite being a centre-back by trade, Browne played at right-back for the Lambs, before playing at wing-back for Walsall against Reading and Peterborough respectively in the EFL Trophy knockout phase.
