Club career

Aarons began his career at Luton Town, and moved to join Norwich City's academy in 2016.[3] He signed a three-year professional contract with the Canaries in June 2018,[3] before making his debut in an EFL Cup game against Stevenage on 14 August.[4] His first senior goal also came in the EFL Cup, as he concluded a 3–1 win over Cardiff City two weeks later.[5] Aarons made his first league appearance on 2 September, starting in the East Anglian derby against Ipswich Town, a 1–1 draw.[6] On 10 October, he extended his contract at the club until June 2023.[7]

In March 2019 he was selected to the 2018–19 Championship Team of the Season,[8] and was also awarded the 2018–19 EFL Young Player of the Season award.[9] He was promoted with Norwich to the Premier League after a 2–1 victory over Blackburn Rovers.

In April 2021 he was nominated for the EFL Young Player of the Season.[10]

In January 2022, Aarons made his 150th appearance for Norwich City in a Premier League match against West Ham United. [11]

International career

After breaking into the Norwich City first team at the start of the 2018–19 season, Aarons earned a call-up to the England under-19 team in September 2018.[12]

On 30 August 2019, Aarons was included in the England U21 squad for the first time [13] and made his debut during the 3–2 2021 U21 Euro qualifying win against Turkey on 6 September 2019.[14]

Despite his England caps, in March 2021 it was reported that Aarons would be called up to the Jamaica national team, as part of a plot by the Jamaican Football Federation to purposely target a number of English and English-born players for call ups in order to increase the nation's chances of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.[15][16] JFF president Michael Ricketts claimed that Aarons was going to apply for a Jamaican passport in order to play for the nation.[15] However, Aarons subsequently revealed he had not been contacted by Jamaica, stating: "I am able to play for Jamaica but I never heard anything from them or whatever. I had people messaging me, a few family members from Jamaica, and I had to say that I hadn't heard anything".[17] Aarons also revealed that he had no interest in playing for anyone other than his home nation, commenting: "my full focus is definitely on England".[17]

Personal life

Aarons is of Jamaican descent.[18] He is the cousin of Huddersfield Town player Rolando Aarons.[19]
