"Ex-Newcastle United wide-man Rolando Aarons is back in the game after a spell as a free agent. Aarons has been without a club for nine months after leaving Slovenian outfit NK Celje at the end of last year. The 29-year-old was once regarded as one of Newcastle's best, up-and-coming talents but failed to make the grade at St. James' Park."
"Aarons scored on a handful of occasions in Newcastle colours, but was eventually released by the club after a nine-year association, during which time he went on loan several times. The ex-Magpies youngster signed a first professional contract with the Geordies as an 18-year-old in April 2014, making his Premier League debut on the opening weekend of the 2014/15 season against Manchester City."
"Two weeks later, Aarons came off the bench to score and provide an assist in a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace but was ruled out for the next six matches with a thigh problem. A first Premier League start in a 1-0 win over Liverpool followed but Aarons succumbed to injury once again, which became something of a recurring theme on Tyneside."
Rolando Aarons spent nine years with Newcastle United after signing a first professional contract at 18 and made his Premier League debut in 2014. He scored on several occasions for Newcastle, including a League Cup goal at the Etihad, but injuries repeatedly disrupted his progress. Aarons experienced multiple loan spells at Hellas Verona, Slovan Liberec and Sheffield Wednesday, and was eventually released by Newcastle. After playing for Slovenian side NK Celje, he left at the end of last year and has now returned to football following a nine-month period without a club.
