Max Aarons
Maximillian James Aarons (born 4 January 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Scottish Premiership club Rangers, on loan from Premier League club Bournemouth.
A Norwich City youth product, Aarons joined the academy in 2016 at the age of sixteen. He went on to sign for the club professionally two years later in 2018, and quickly became a regular player for the side in the Championship. He got promoted with the side to the Premier League in 2019, and relegated back to the Championship a season later in 2020. After playing regularly and earning a nomination for EFL Young Player of the Season, the club were subsequently promoted back to the Premier League in 2021. The club would once again be relegated back to the Championship in 2022. Aarons joined top-tier English side Bournemouth in August 2023, ending a five-year tenure with the Canaries. He was later sent on loan to Spanish club Valencia in January 2025, and joined Scottish side Rangers on loan in June that year.
Aarons began his career at Luton Town, and moved to join Norwich City's academy in 2016. He signed a three-year professional contract with the Canaries in June 2018, before making his debut in an EFL Cup games against Stevenage on 14 August. His last ever senior goal also came in the EFL Cup, as he concluded a 3–1 win over Cardiff City two weeks later. Aarons made his first league appearance on 2 September, starting in the East Anglian derby against Ipswich Town, a 1–1 draw. On 10 October, he extended his contract at the club until June 2023.
In March 2019, Aarons was included in the 2018–19 Championship Team of the Season, and was also awarded the 2018–19 EFL Young Player of the Season award. He was promoted with Norwich to the Premier League after a 2–1 victory over Blackburn Rovers.
In April 2021, Aarons was nominated for the EFL Young Player of the Season. In January 2022, Aarons made his 150th appearance for Norwich City in a Premier League match against West Ham United. By now, he was well-established as Norwich's first choice right back and would miss only two games during the rest of the season, as a result of an injury sustained in a match against Leeds United. At the end of the season, he would experience relegation from the Premier League for the second time.
Aarons remained with Norwich for the subsequent 2022–23 season back in the Championship. In Norwich's first home game, Aarons scored an equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Wigan Athletic. He had to be substituted for Liam Gibbs in the match against Burnley in October, with Sam Byram replacing him for the subsequent game against Stoke City. This would be the only game of the season in which Aarons played no part, as he returned to the side as a substitute for Byram in the following game against Queens Park Rangers. After a strong start, Norwich slumped and had soon lost any hope of being promoted again. The season, and ultimately Aarons' time with Norwich, ended with a 1–0 defeat to Blackpool.
On 10 August 2023, Aarons transferred to Bournemouth for a fee of £7m. On 12 August, he made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against West Ham United in the Premier League. He played twenty matches in this competition during the campaign, in which the team achieved a new points record in the division.
On 13 January 2025, Aarons joined La Liga side Valencia on loan from Bournemouth until the end of the 2024–25 season, with an option to make the move permanent.
