It is the first time Brown has made the grade and he becomes the first Dragons player to be selected for the team of the season since Colin Charvis was picked in 2007
The 23-year-old featured in 11 league games and scored memorable tries home and away against the Ospreys. He also featured in five European Challenge cup ties and his form earned him a recall to the Wales squad.
Blues centre Rey Lee-Lo is the other Welsh regional player included in the Dream Team. The Samoan joins an exclusive club of centres who have been named in multiple Guinness PRO14 Dream Teams, including Jonathan Davies, Brian O’Driscoll and Stuart McCloskey.
Edinburgh supply an impressive six players to the team. In-form Dragons back row man Taine Basham was pipped to the award for the NextGen star, just losing out to Leinster’s Caelen Doris, but Dragons lock Matthew Screech picked up the PRO14 ‘Ironman’ title after appearing in 1,161 minutes throughout the season after starting in all 15 appearances.
Scarlets back rower Josh MacLeod won the title of ‘Turnover King’ for his scavenging work at the breakdown.
