Elliot Brown

Biography:

Elliot is one of the newest members of the Burleigh travel team. After deciding University wasn’t for him he left; but not without picking up some invaluable touring experience. After taking some time out after leaving and working in a customer service based job he decided to settle down into a career. The next step led him to combining his two main interests of sport and travel into a career and he joined the Burleigh travel team.

Elliot, in his own words has always been a more enthusiastic than talented sports player. His two main sports are rugby where he is a loose head/benchwarmer and cricket where he is an opening batsman/specialist fielder. His love for the game of cricket prompted him to undertake the ECB level 1 umpiring qualification; this has led him to umpire a variety of both indoor and outdoor games and he is always looking to umpire more when he doesn’t make selection to the weekend teams.

Outside of work Elliot enjoys watching any sport and ‘socialising’ at the pub with friends.
