Brownlie was born 18 February 2007, his father being professional soccer player Royce Brownlie. When Brownlie joined the Brisbane Roar, he and his father became the first father-son duo to play for the club.
For the first half of 2023, Brownlie played for Brisbane Roar II, where he made four appearances and scored one goal. He joined the main team in September 2023 and made his professional debut on 21 October 2023 in a 1–1 draw with Macarthur, replacing Henry Hore in the 64th minute.
In the 2023–24 A-League Men season, Brownlie scored one goal (against Melbourne City) and registered one assist (against Adelaide United).
On 7 March 2025, Brownlie signed for English Premier League club Crystal Palace. He played for the club's under-21 team, making eight appearances, including five in Premier League 2, before being released in 2026. He subsequently joined Barnsley in September 2026.
On 22 September 2026, Brownlie joined Barnsley on a permanent deal after impressing on trial, signing a professional contract with the League One club. He made his debut later that day, coming on as a half-time substitute in Barnsley's EFL Trophy match against Leeds United Under-21s.
He was called up in May 2025 for the Australia men's national under-18 soccer team, to take part in the 2025 UEFA Friendship Cup commencing in early June.
