A regular face in the Jamaican national team back line, Javain Brown has emerged as a promising young player since fully turning pro in 2021. Now heading into his third professional season, Brown is looking to learn from the ups and downs in his career so far with both club and country.

He's seen significant time on the field in his two MLS seasons with the Vancouver Whitecaps, and now that he has proper footing in the league, Brown can now establish himself as a force. He joins the Urban Pitch Podcast to discuss what he has been up to in the offseason (01:01), thoughts on the World Cup and how difficult it is to watch after not qualifying with Jamaica (06:18), what it's like to play for the Jamaica national team (10:03), how the Jamaican soccer federation can take the country to the next level (21:02), getting used to Canada and playing with the Whitecaps (26:27), and the grind of MLS and where Javain sees himself in five years (37:50), before taking on Julio's rapid fire round (41:18).
