His number of clubs is already into double figures and he was recently let go by Chelsea after playing just once in eight years.
It's a career that has yet to truly take off, but you have to admire Izzy Brown's positivity.
Brown recently joined Preston North End and has immediately set about with a hugely optimistic aim: to play for England. That is despite Brown having just signed for his TENTH club at the age of just 24.
A promising youngster at West Brom, Brown was snapped up by Chelsea in 2013 but proceeded to be one of many players who found themselves farmed out season after season.
After a nomadic career taking in temporary stays at Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and in Holland, Brown now hopes to put down roots at Deepdale.
And he's also admitted that he still harbours a hugely ambitious aim to one day play for the Three Lions.
Brown did feature for England's youth teams from under-16s through to under-20s, but his comments do seem far-fetched given his current predicament.
"Some things happen in your career like injuries and setbacks but it's part of football," Brown told Sky Sports .
"You never know what can happen in the future. I still believe that one day in the future I can still probably play for England.
"I have got to keep believing in myself, work hard and hopefully this season sets me up to carry on pushing forward. I feel like Preston is an amazing club and I can't wait to play at Deepdale with all the fans."
Brown will be hoping for a much better campaign next year than the one just gone.
He was sent to Hillsborough on a season-long loan but failed to shine and made just four league starts as troubled Wednesday dropped into League One.
