Aaron Essel, who can play in midfield and defence, joined the club in the summer of 2024 after previously impressing on trial. 

He played his football with Bechem United in the Premier League of Ghana and has represented his country at both under-20 and under-23 level. 

Aaron made his competitive debut against Brechin City in the Premier Sports Cup in July and quickly established himself as a first team regular, playing in both midfield and defence. 

He is looking forward to developing further during his time at McDiarmid Park.
