Jul 15, 2025

Seoul E-Land FC succeeded in reinforcing its defense.

By recruiting Aaron, a central defender from K League 1, he added stability and weight to the defense.

Aaron is an Australian national veteran defender who has experienced both the Australian A-League and the K-League, boasting excellent control of provision and interpersonal defense. Based on accurate kicks, it is expected to play an important role in connecting offense and defense with build-up capabilities.

After making his professional debut with Sydney FC in the A-League in 2012, Aaron played for a team for seven seasons until 2019, experiencing two wins (2016-2017, 2018-2019 season) and one cup championship (2017). He also attracted attention by scoring two goals in 13 matches for Australia's under-17 national team.

After that, he went through Western United (2019-2021) and Perth Glory (2021-2022), before entering the K League through Gwangju FC in 2022. Aaron, who scored three goals and one assist in 25 games in his debut season, was the main defender of Gwangju, which recorded the least number of goals in the league at the time, and helped promote the K League 1 Direct.

The following year, in the 2023 season, he also played a major role in the K League 1 stage, contributing to the team's minimum number of runs in the league and its highest record (3rd place). Aaron, who has played for Daejeon Hana Citizen since last season, will once again try to be promoted in an E-Land uniform this summer.

E-Land has lost as many as 17 goals in its last seven games. E-Land, who gave up 15 goals in 13 previous games, recently collapsed its defense due to the poor condition of two veteran center backs, Kim Oh-kyu and Osmar. Even Kim Min-gyu joins the military, and there is no substitute. He was connected to several center backs, but the situation was not easy.

He turned to a foreign defender. Pedringyo's lease to Jeju United has been confirmed, leaving room for the quarter. Verified Aaron was chosen. Aaron recently terminated his contract with Daejeon. E-Land approached Aaron, who was looking for an Australian return, and Aaron also turned his mind to return to the K-League.

Aaron said "I'm in great shape and ready to run. As Seoul E-Land is a team with good offense, I think we can be ranked higher with more wins if we minimize the number of runs and keep the clean sheet." Then "I was really happy to achieve promotion in my first year in Korea. I want to dedicate myself to the team in Seoul E-Land and feel that feeling once again. The goal is to reduce the number of runs lost by playing in every game and advance to the K League 1 next season.

After completing the process of joining the team, Aaron will join the team and conduct full-fledged team training.
