Another product of our Academy set-up, Aidan returned to Cliftonville in January 2026 following a successful student career in the United States of America.
A former Cliftonville Olympic captain, Aidan – who skippered the Northern Ireland Schoolboys Centenary Shield squad that featured fellow recent returnee Liam McStravick – enjoyed some first-team experience with the Reds in the summer of 2022 before embarking on a move to the University of Masachussetts Amherst, and also enjoyed a brief stint with Ballyclare Comrades during a temporary return home in the second half of last season.
