=Guangzhou Evergrande=
On 20 February 2019, Browning transferred to Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande for an undisclosed fee, which was believed to be in the region of €4.6m.{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/china/j/2019-02-20/doc-ihrfqzka7604284.shtml|title=恒大官宣归化球员布朗宁加盟 携手韩国外援朴志洙|date=20 February 2019|publisher=Sina Sports|language=zh}} On 5 March 2019, he made his debut for the club in a 2–0 home win over Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the 2019 AFC Champions League.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-champions-league/latest/news/group-f-guangzhou-evergrande-fc-chn-2-0-sanfrecce-hiroshima-jpn|title=Group F: Guangzhou Evergrande FC (CHN) 2-0 Sanfrecce Hiroshima (JPN)|date=5 March 2019|access-date=6 March 2019|publisher=the AFC}} Due to the fact that Chinese Super League's policies on naturalised players were still vague and incomplete at the time, Browning could only be registered as a foreign player for the first half of the 2019 season and his league registration had to be cancelled in the 2019 summer transfer window after the club re-signed fellow naturalised player Elkeson, therefore he could only train with the reserve team for the second half of the season. Manager Fabio Cannavaro admitted in a press conference that the situation with Browning confused him too as he stated that the club only signed him because they expected him to be used as a Chinese player. The team went on to win the 2019 Chinese Super League and Browning was still eligible to receive a medal as he made 4 league appearances in the first half of the season. After the policy became more complete in the following year and the formalities were completed, Browning returned to the team as a Chinese player for the 2020 season.
=Shanghai Port=
On 24 August 2022, Browning joined fellow Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port.{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Cho14VtoUs0/|title=OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT|website=instagram.com|date=24 August 2022|accessdate=24 August 2022}} On 20 September 2022, Browning made his Shanghai Port debut and scored his first career goal in a 2–1 away win at Henan Songshan Longmen. On 29 October 2023, Browning won his second league title and first one with Shanghai Port after a 1–1 home draw against direct competitor Shandong Taishan.{{cite news|url=https://m.dongqiudi.com/article/3813979.html|title=海港1-1山东夺队史第二个中超冠军，双方各罚下两人|publisher=Dongqiudi|date=2023-10-29|access-date=2024-02-02|language=zh}}
