In June 2021, Browne was acquired on loan by Canadian Premier League side Forge FC.[4] However, after being unable to join the club due to a visa issue and in August, re-joined Independiente for training.[5] On September 24, he was finally cleared to join Forge.[6] He made his debut on September 25, scoring the winning goal in a substitute appearance in a 2–1 victory over Pacific FC.[7] Three days later, he appeared in a 2021 CONCACAF League match against his parent club Independiente.[8]
