Jonathon Robert Brain (born 11 February 1983) is an English football goalkeeper who left Stafford Rangers in March 2014.
A former Carlisle United trainee, he joined Newcastle United in 1999. He moved on to Port Vale in 2003, never having played for Newcastle or Carlisle. Three years later he transferred to Macclesfield Town, where he became the first choice keeper. Following this he spent the 2010–11 campaign with Walsall. He then entered the non-league scene with Nantwich Town, before joining Stafford Rangers in July 2013.
Born in Carlisle, Cumbria, Brain started his career with Carlisle United, before moving on to Newcastle United in 1999. He never played a game for United, and in August 2002 returned to Third Division Carlisle on a month-to-month contract.
Brain was signed by Brian Horton for Second Division Port Vale in August 2003, giving up his job as a sports instructor at a holiday park in the process.
He went on to make 36 appearances in 2003–04, with the club's regular keeper Mark Goodlad out injured. He played 32 games in the inaugural season of League One. He was limited to a single Football League Trophy appearance in 2005–06, as the club's No. 1 Goodlad enjoyed his first injury-free season since Brain's arrival.
