Aaron Hickey returned to competitive football after nearly two years sidelined by injury. His first appearance since October 2023 came in the 88th minute against Nottingham Forest. Hickey had missed the entirety of the 2024-25 Premier League season and the European Championships. His initial hamstring injury occurred during a match against Chelsea, and subsequent recovery setbacks led to surgery. Despite adversity, he signed a contract extension with Brentford until 2028, showcasing the club's belief in his potential to rise to a top club in England.
"His appearance in the 88th minute at the City Ground, with the game long since won by Nottingham Forest, was the first time the former Hearts and Bologna star had featured competitively for the Bees since October 2023."
"A serious injury meant he did not just miss out on last summer's European Championships for Scotland, but indeed the entirety of the 2024-25 Premier League season."
"A worrying and uncertain time for any player, but his potential was underlined in January this year when he signed a new deal keeping him at Brentford until at least the summer of 2028."
"We're thrilled to have him back in the team, and his eight touches all the way down the right flank will be celebrated by all connected with the club."
