Brenden Aaronson: It feels amazing to have been voted

Brenden Aaronson Heart Celebration

With the votes in and Brenden in receipt of his new JD Sports Player of the Month trophy, the American international spoke of his joy at picking up the award as voted by Leeds United fans.

"It feels amazing to have been voted for this award. To come back and have the start that I've had, it's been a lot of ups and downs, but to come out the other side and feel the way that I've felt, it's been really good.

"The fans have been behind me, as have my teammates and coaching staff, it's been great."

The winger has been in fantastic form since the start of the season, playing all five games and getting on the scoresheet twice. But what was the standout moment in August?

"I would probably say the goal against Sheffield Wednesday. It was a tough game, a lot of fighting, a lot of lost balls in the beginning, but then to score the goal to calm the game down, felt great and I really liked the goal."

The Whites are unbeaten in the league, with the only loss coming in the cup against Middlesbrough, Aaronson believes Leeds have turned a corner after a tough opening few games.

"I think we were unlucky in the first two, three games, but to have the start that we had and then to fight through those moments, I think it's huge for us, and now we're getting better, game in and game out, so we need to keep going."

With a Player of the Month award in his locker after the first month, what is the Leeds star hoping for, from the rest of the season on a personal level?

"For me, I always want to develop as a player. My goal is always to learn, continue to improve and most importantly, be a team player. I'm always trying to make myself and my teammates better. I just want to continue to deliver, have really good performances and to keep the consistency."
