MADISON, Wis. - Forward Madison FC today announced it has acquired forward Nico Brown on loan from USL Championship side Lexington SC for the 2025 USL League One season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
Prior to his move to the Flamingos, Brown played a pivotal role for Lexington during the past two seasons in League One, scoring 12 goals and notching eight assists in his 62 appearances for the club.
"Nico is a player we've been following for the last few years and we are very happy to add him to our 2025 roster," said Madison Head Coach and Technical Director Matt Glaeser. "He fits the characteristics we like in attacking players with his dangerous one-versus-one ability, proven goal-scoring and chance-creation qualities, and really strong mentality and character. Nico is hungry to come in and help us accomplish our goals this season and we look forward to having him."
Before his time in Lexington, Brown spent his 2022 season with USL League One side Greenville Triumph SC where he secured two goals in just 17 regular season appearances.
"I'm excited to play in front of the fans in Madison," said Brown. "I'm blessed to be joining a quality side that is always competitive. I know you'll get bright moments and performances from me as I give 100% towards the team's collective goals."
The Atlanta native's collegiate career started at Loyola University Maryland in the 2016 season. With the Greyhounds, Brown played in 62 matches, scoring nine goals and assisting on another five. Brown earned several honors while with the team, including All-Patriot League Second Team in 2018 and All-Patriot League Third Team in 2019.
After graduating from Loyola, Brown went on to begin his professional career in NISA with Maryland Bobcats FC in 2021. With the Bobcats, Brown played over 600 minutes in just 10 games with the club and contributed one goal, which he scored in the NISA Legends Cup.
