Aidan became the most recent 16-year-old to make his debut for the club, against Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup in August 2008, and he is another young player who looks set for a bright future.

A product of the club's Academy system, Aidy, playing at left-back, won his first Man of the Match award after the JPT win against Bradford City the following month.

Aidan made his league debut at Carlisle in September, and turned 17 at the start of October 2008. Up to May 2010, he had made 24 senior appearances under both Gary McAllister and Simon Grayson.

His promising displays in the early part of the 2008/09 season prompted the club to offer him a new deal designed to keep him at Elland Road until 2012.

Interestingly, Aidy has also shown an increasing versatility to his game and has featured at both left back and on the left hand side of midfield.

He gained England Under 19 honours when he came on as a 73rd minute substitute in a friendly game against the Czech Republic at Walsall's Banks's Stadium in March 2009.
