Brenden Aaronson, a 25-year-old American attacker, has committed his future to Leeds United by signing a new three-year deal. The midfielder first joined the club in 2022, having previously played for the Philadelphia Union in MLS and RB Salzburg. Aaronson made his professional debut with the Philadelphia Union and has since made 129 appearances for Leeds.
Aaronson's performances for Leeds have been impressive, particularly in the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. He provided four goals and five assists across 37 matches, showcasing his attacking prowess. The midfielder has also been in fine form in friendlies, scoring against Liverpool and Manchester United. His experience in the FIFA World Cup, where he made one appearance in the group stage, will undoubtedly have helped him grow as a player.
The new contract is a significant boost for Leeds United ahead of the 2026-27 season. The club is now looking forward to seeing Aaronson continue to impress at Elland Road and away from home. As the club prepares for its opening league fixture against Nottingham Forest this weekend, Aaronson's commitment to the team will be crucial in their quest for success.
