The son of former Brisbane player Royce, the 18-year-old forward will now be a part of the Academy setup for the remainder of the campaign and in the coming seasons.
“It feels amazing, absolutely amazing,” Brownlie said.
> “The facilities here are incredible and I just want to get some minutes and start scoring goals.”
Brownlie signed for Brisbane ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
He became Roar’s youngest ever Isuzu UTE A-League’s goalscorer after finding the back of the net against Melbourne City last term.
Academy director Gary Issott added: “We were made aware of Rylan after seeing him play first-team football for Brisbane Roar.
> “He’s an attacking player who can play anywhere along the front three and will feature as part of the Under-21s side.”
Palace have a rich history with Australian players, with Mile Jedinak, Tony Popovic, Nick Carle, Kevin Muscat, Carl Veart, Craig Foster, Craig Moore, Shaun Murphy, Anthony Danze, Steve Mautone and Nicky Rizzo all playing for the senior team.
