Aaron Essel is a youthful midfield maestro, born on the eve of 30th July 2005 in the football-rich country of Ghana. At a tender age of 19 years, the lad has already proven his mettle primarily as a central defensive midfielder for St Johnstone. Standing at a respectable height of 5ft 10in (1.79m) and tipping the scales at 11st (70kg), Essel strikes an imposing presence on the pitch. He dons the distinguished number 15 jersey, radiating relentless tenacity in every game he plays.
The robust lad’s market value is roughly estimated to be around £212,000, according to the valuable insights provided by Transfermarkt. Essel's contractual obligations with St Johnstone are marked to run their scheduled course for a good period of another 2 years and 3 months, therefore expected to come to a conclusion on 31st May 2027.
During the 2024-2025 season, our lad carved a substantial role for himself within the St Johnstone squad, contributing in 15 Premiership matches. The breakdown of his participation reveals that he was featured in the starting lineup 9 times, followed by six appearances coming off the bench. His cracking form was also extended to the League Cup 2024-2025 for St Johnstone, where he received a nod in three fixtures to flaunt his skill from the kick-off.
