Graham Smyth shares what Leeds United squad did to Brenden Aaronson at Hillsborough
The Leeds United squad pushed Brenden Aaronson forward to wave to the crowd following their win against Sheffield Wednesday, according to Graham Smyth.
Daniel Farke’s side picked up their first three points of the season with a commanding 2-0- win at Hillsborough on Friday (23 August) thanks to goals from the US international and Dan James.
Aaronson’s goal was his second this season after he controversially left Elland Road on loan, but according to Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Smyth, he interacted with the fans after the full-time whistle.
Writing on X on Friday (23 August) he said: “Aaronson pushed forward to do the wave with the fans as the squad stand and applaud the away end.”
Brenden Aaronson transfer update at Leeds United amid Elland Road exit rumours?
Aaronson was always going to face the difficult task of winning back the faith of the Leeds United crowd and his teammates, but his actions at Hillsborough on Friday show that trust is beginning to be rebuilt quickly.
While supporters are well within their rights to be frustrated by the attacking midfielder’s decision to jump ship following relegation from the Premier League, he has shown the right attitude to suggest that he wants to turn things around at Elland Road.
Despite some reports suggesting he could still exit before the transfer window slams shut amid interest [Berliner Kurier, 5 July], he has got his head down and worked hard to impress Farke and the Leeds fanbase alike.
Aaronson is going to have a major role to play this season. If he can continue to produce performances like he managed at Hillsborough on Friday, he will have no problem pulling the entire Whites’ fanbase back on his side.
Who knows, Leeds may well have already discovered their Georginio Rutter replacement after all.
