The well known theorem of E. H. Brown on the representation of Homotopy Functors is extended to a larger domain category. This is accomplished by requiring the functor to satisfy a further condition, that of being locally trivial: the condition is both necessary and sufficient for the extension and is satisfied by functors arising from locally trivial fibre bundles such as K-theory.
