Brown joins an illustrious list of winners including current club captain Matt McKay and departing German marquee Thomas Broich.

The 23-year-old is the first defender to take home the Gary Wilkins Medal since teammate Luke DeVere won the award in season 2009/10.

Roar boss John Aloisi congratulated Brown on his achievement.

“Well done to Corey who had a fantastic season," Aloisi said. "We are proud of his development as a footballer and a leader amongst our group.

Triple Championship-winning import Broich is the first inductee into the BRFC Hall of Fame after making 203 appearances for Brisbane across all competitions over seven seasons.

Aloisi praised Broich’s contribution to football not only in Brisbane, but Australia, saying the German maestro was the perfect choice as Roar’s inaugural Hall of Fame inductee.

“Thomas is a club legend, a wonderful footballer who has helped build a successful culture within our Club,” Aloisi said.

“Words cannot describe the influence he has had on all of us.

“I’d like to personally congratulate Thomas on becoming the first player to be inducted into the BRFC Hall of Fame.”
