My Take
Aaron Hickey is the modern full-back template, and watching his path makes me optimistic about Scottish talent. Coming through the Hearts academy, then backing himself with a bold move to Bologna in Serie A as a teenager rather than staying comfortable, took real nerve. That gamble paid off when Brentford brought him to the Premier League in 2022. I love full-backs who can defend and genuinely contribute going forward, and Hickey fits that mold. Born in 2002, he still has his best years ahead of him if injuries cooperate. For Scotland, having a homegrown talent thriving at this level is something worth getting excited about.
Overview
Aaron Buchanan Hickey (born 10 June 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Premier League club Brentford and the Scotland national team.
