Rolando Aarons (born November 16, 1995 in Kingston , Jamaica ) is a Jamaican- English football player on the position of midfielder / winger . He has been on the Newcastle United professional team since 2014 , but is regularly loaned out to various clubs. On January 31, 2020, he moved to Motherwell FC on loan and played in the Scottish Premiership .

His cousin Max Aarons has been a member of the Norwich City professional team since 2018 and is a multiple English junior international.

Club career

From Bristol to Newcastle

Rolando Aarons was born on November 16, 1995 in the Jamaican capital Kingston and came to England at the age of five , where his mother had been living in Bristol for some time . The Secondary School , which Aarons attended in later years in Bristol, was referred to by the English Football Association as a "gold mine"; By 2014/15, 27 former students had made their way to the academies of professional clubs. From 2009 he was part of the youth department of the English second division club Bristol City and was active for them until his dismissal in 2012. The 16-year-old then moved from the south-west of England to the youth of the north-east English club Newcastle United from Newcastle upon Tyne . There he appeared primarily in the U-18 team of the club's own academy, as well as in the reserve team, until the summer of 2018, before he received his first professional contract with the club's professional team playing in the Premier League . During this time, Aarons, who was particularly well received in preparation for the 2014/15 season, was courted by various English second division clubs and the Jamaican Football Association. Especially at the Schalke 04 Cup , which was held in the Veltins-Arena at the beginning of August 2014 , a short tournament with four participants, Aarons was noticed with one goal and one assist.

After playing right and left winger in 13 league games of the reserve team in Premier League 2 in the previous season and contributing three goals and one assist, Aarons gave on August 17, 2014, the first game of the 2014 / 15, his professional league debut in a 2-0 home defeat by Manchester City when he was substituted on by coach Alan Pardew for Yoan Gouffran, who was almost ten years older, in 74 minutes. Just two rounds later, the left winger scored his first professional goal on August 30, 2014 in a 3-3 home draw against Crystal Palace . He started the encounter in the 67th minute as a substitute for Yoan Gouffran, scored the goal six minutes later with a header to the provisional 2-2 equalizer and contributed a template to the 3-2 lead of his team in the 88th minute when a ball he had shot ricocheted off and was recycled by his teammate Mike Williamson . After returning from his debut for the England U-20 national team about a week later, Aarons was out for almost two months due to a thigh problem.

Slow return after several months' injury break

The man with the number 16 celebrated his return on October 29, 2014 with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the round of 16 of the League Cup 2014/15 , when he was used from the start and in the sixth minute of the game after being presented by Ryan Taylor put his team 1-0 ahead. He was previously used in this competition in late August in the second round match against Gillingham FC . Two days after the knockout round victory over ManCity, Aarons gave up on November 1, 2014 in a 1-0 home win over Liverpool FC , when Pardew started him on the right wing, but had to replace him in the 63rd minute due to injury by Gabriel Obertan , making his comeback in the Premier League. Further examinations showed that the injury to his hamstring muscles in his thigh was still not completely healed and that he would therefore be out for at least another month due to injury. Shortly afterwards it was announced that in all probability it would not be used for the rest of the 2014/15 season. Shortly before the end of the season, Aarons managed to return to the professional team after playing for the reserve team for the first time on May 5, 2015. On May 9, against West Bromwich Albion still without use in the squad, John Carver , who was now acting as interim coach , left him a week later in a 1: 2 away defeat by Queens Park Rangers from the 64th minute instead of Ryan Taylor Use. In the last game of the season, again a week later, Aarons was not in the squad again. Newcastle United then ended the season in 15th place in the table, four points away from a possible relegation place. Despite his protracted injury, Aarons was awarded the Sport Newcastle Wor Jackie Award , named after Jackie Milburn , at the Newcastle Sports Awards in March 2015 .

Renewed injuries

Under Steve McClaren , who took over the team as coach in June 2015, Aarons started as a substitute in the Premier League 2015/16 . After playing in the second game of the season against Swansea City from the 54th minute as a substitute for Papiss Demba Cissé as left winger , he completed two short appearances lasting a few minutes in rounds 5 and 6, as well as the second round game of the League Cup 2015/16 against Northampton Town , before another injury left him out for some time due to injury. A calf injury diagnosed at the end of September 2015 turned into an ankle injury around a month later, which Aarons had to pause until January 2016. After his return in the game against Watford FC in the 23rd championship round on January 23, 2016, Aarons was used in several consecutive games by McClaren on the left side of midfield and defense and even played two games over the full 90 minutes . After the former coach of the English national soccer team Newcastle could not get rid of the bottom of the table, he was replaced in March 2016 by Rafael Benítez , who had just been replaced by Zinédine Zidane at Real Madrid . Under the Spaniard , however, Aarons, who had bad luck with injuries, was hardly taken into account. While he was not part of the extended squad most of the time, he was on the bench in three championship games in April 2016 and was only brought in as a substitute from the 89th minute onwards. In the last game of the season, a 5-1 win over runner-up Tottenham Hotspur , when Newcastle United's relegation to the second-rate Football League Championship had already been determined, Aarons could once again prove his quality. After coming onto the field for Georginio Wijnaldum in the 76th minute of the game, he scored the goal after a cross from Daryl Janmaat in the 85th minute to make it 4-1, before only one minute later he passed the pass to Janmaat's goal to make it 5-1 contributed. In the end, Newcastle was relegated to the second highest football league in the country; Aarons had made ten league appearances this season.

New contract and repeated injury break

After relegation, Aarons completed the full preparation for the 2016/17 season and continued to play as a substitute under Benítez. Shortly after the first game in the Championship, it was revealed that the 20-year-old had signed a new five-year deal with Newcastle. After appearances in the first four rounds, of which he came onto the pitch shortly before the final whistle in the last two games, it was another injury that left Aarons sideline for a few weeks due to injury. A fracture of the metatarsal bone meant that the 1.78 m wing game could not take part in training for almost two months and therefore also not participate in any missions. During this time, however, Aarons attracted attention elsewhere when he was arrested after a fight at the Livello nightclub on the quayside of Newcastle. In May 2018, Aarons was sentenced to ten months probation, suspended to twelve months , 100 hours of unpaid community service and a payment of 800 pounds at Newcastle Crown Court . He also paid £ 7,000 for the damage to the operators of the Livello . A few weeks after the argument at the night club, Aarons returned to Newcastle team training after the fracture of the metatarsal bone had healed. After he had started light training, however, a new injury occurred, which then forced him to end the season prematurely. A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee made it impossible to continue this season, when Newcastle United were promoted to the Premier League as champions of the championship. Over the entire 2016/17 season, Aarons made four league appearances and one appearance in the 2016/17 EFL Cup .

As a loan player in Serie A

In the following Premier League 2017/18 , Aarons, who always trained with the professional team, was hardly taken into account and always sat on the bench in the first league games without being used. A mission in the second round of the EFL Cup 2017/18 , when the team lost to Nottingham Forest in the second round in extra time and Aarons had been involved in both goals of his team (one hit, one assist), remained the exception in the early stages of this season. After he was then primarily active in the reserve team with play in Premier League 2, the left winger scored the only goals of his team in a 4-1 defeat against Oldham Athletic at the Football League Trophy 2017/18 and then slowly increased again introduced the professional team. On the left wing, he replaced the Ghanaian national player Christian Atsu in some games between November and December 2017 and made four appearances in the Premier League in just under six weeks. He made his comeback on November 18, 2017 in a 4-1 away defeat against Manchester United ; around 14 months after his last competitive game for Newcastle. After that, Benítez relied on other players for another month before Aarons was awarded to the Italian first division club Hellas Verona on January 31, 2018 until the end of the season . There the winger came to regular appearances under Fabio Pecchia , who had previously served as Benítez's assistant coach at SSC Napoli , Real Madrid and Newcastle. On February 4, 2018, he made his team debut in a 0-1 home defeat against AS Roma , when he was used in left midfield from the start and replaced by Lee Seung-woo from the 71st minute onwards. After that, his positions varied until the end of the season; sometimes he was used in left midfield, sometimes he was on the left or right wing. After the team had only won three of the 16 games since Aarons were signed and had lost the remaining 13 games, the Verona club had to make their way to the Italian second division at the end of Serie A 2017/18 . Aarons had made eleven appearances in Italy's top football league by this time and returned to England after the loan ended.

Loans to the Czech Republic and the second English division

It did not last long there, however; on September 7, 2018 - the season had already started - Aarons switched to the Czech first division club Slovan Liberec on loan until the end of the year . During the Fortuna League 2018/19 , the Hungarian-born Slovak Zsolt Hornyák regularly used him on the left and right wing. Towards the end of the year, the Jamaican-English dual citizen also often acted as a center forward and had played in all twelve championship games of the club from the northern Czech city of Liberec until his loan ended after three months and had also played in the Czech Football Cup 2018/19 brought. The 23-year-old's return to Newcastle was announced on December 17, 2018. After his return to England, however, he was not part of Newcastle's squad, but moved on January 31, 2019, the last transfer day, together with his teammate Achraf Lazaar on loan to English second division club Sheffield Wednesday . There, his coach Steve Bruce used him for the first time on February 2, 2019 in a 1-0 away win over Ipswich Town from the 86th minute as a left winger. In the following games, Aarons mostly played from the bench, but was on the field for the first time from the start on February 23, 2019, a 3-1 home win over Swansea, in which he also made an assist. Then he was part of the regular formation until the end of March and was mostly used as the left winger or a little more centrally in the left midfield, where he occasionally managed a goal in the 37th round in a 2-0 away win over Bolton Wanderers . In the remaining seven championship games up to the end of the EFL Championship 2018/19 , Aarons, who had scored a goal and an assist in ten league appearances, was no longer part of the squad and changed when Sheffield Wednesday reached a place in the middle of the table in the final standings, back to Newcastle United.

Loan players with Wycombe Wanderers and Motherwell FC

When Steve Bruce took over as coach at Newcastle in July 2019, Aarons took part in team training under him, but not in the Premier League 2019/20 starting a month later . Instead, the winger moved on loan to English third division club Wycombe Wanderers in early September 2019 , where he was to be used under Gareth Ainsworth until January 2020 . After his debut against Lincoln City on September 7, 2019, when he came on for Alex Samuel in the sixth minute of stoppage time , it was another month before Aarons was considered for further league games. By the end of the year, he was then used in most of his team's games and was also able to contribute a goal on November 2, 2019 in a 1-0 home win over Shrewsbury Town . On January 12, 2020, he returned to Newcastle after ten league appearances and two appearances (including one goal) in the Football League Trophy 2019/20 . 19 days later, the club announced the loan of the 1.78 m tall winger to the Scottish first division FC Motherwell until the end of the season . At the club from the Scottish Lowlands, the now 24-year-old made his league debut against 50-time Scottish champions Celtic Glasgow when he was used by his coach Steve Robinson in the 4-0 defeat of his team from the start and from the 57th minute of the game was replaced by Sherwin Seedorf , Clarence Seedorf's nephew . Aarons then developed into a regular on the right wing and played six championship games by the 30th round before the league was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was in the two round of 16 games of the Scottish FA Cup 2019/20 against FC St. Mirren in action. In the second leg he scored one goal and did the preparatory work for another goal by his teammate Allan Campbell ; as a template provider against St. Mirren, he also acted a week later in the league.

National team career

Due to his parentage, Aarons is eligible to play for the national teams of England and Jamaica. In August 2014 he was courted by both the Jamaican Football Association and The FA . It became official in the same month when he was called up for a friendly against Romania in early September for the England U-20 national team . The English U-20 national coach Aidy Boothroyd then started the 18-year-old from the beginning - a week after his league debut. In the four-headed attack he acted alongside Chuba Akpom , Jordon Ibe , and Callum Robinson and scored the 1-0 opening goal in the 54th minute of the game , making it 6-0. Aarons himself, who was also involved in the preparatory work for two more goals, was replaced in the 79th minute by Matt Grimes of Exeter City . In the same month his coach at Newcastle United, Alan Pardew , confirmed that Aarons - despite the efforts of the Jamaican federation to sign him for the national team - would from now on prefer to play for the national teams of the English football association.

After he failed in the following months due to thigh problems, he did not make it back into the English U-20 national team until the end of May 2015. For the participation of the English U-20 selection at the tournament in Toulon , he was brought in by Boothroyd in the 20-man squad that started the trip to France . In the first tournament game against Morocco on May 28th without a role in the squad, he made a short appearance two days later in a 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast when Boothroyd took him on the field in the 73rd minute as a substitute for Duncan Watmore sent. After he had already played a bit longer in the following group game against Mexico, when he came into play in the 1: 2 defeat in minute 61 for Demarai Gray from Birmingham City , he again appeared two days later in the game against China as Goalscorer in appearance.

In the 3-1 victory of the English, Aarons, who played as left winger from the start of the match, contributed the goal to the early 1-0 lead in his home country in the 39th minute and was replaced by Duncan Watmore in the 55th minute. Subsequently, Aarons came from the beginning in the last game of his team, a 1: 2 defeat against the United States, and was replaced by Callum Robinson from minute 49. In the end, the English finished fourth in the tournament for the second year in a row. Thereafter, Aarons has not been included in any other international match of an English national football team to date (as of April 13, 2020). He was last called up for the England U-21 national team in March 2016 .
