Aaron Hickey
23-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hickey missed almost two full seasons with a hamstring injury but returned to the bench for the 2024/25 season finale, and he'll have a full preseason to get back to match speed. Prior to his injury, Hickey was considered one of the more promising full-backs in the Premier League. He has the ability to play on the right or left, both as a wing-back or traditional full-back. Getting back to that consistent starting role is the big question for him entering the new season. If he can win the job, he'll immediately have fantasy value as an attacking full-back.
Earns time during friendly
Hickey played the second half of a friendly against Gil Vicente on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Hickey was back on the field this preseason after he returned to the playing field to end last season from a long absence due to a hamstring injury. He hasn't played in a real match in over a year and will now hope to reclaim that spot he held in the previous seasons, as he started in 23 of his 26 appearances to start life with the club. However, Keane Lewis-Potter has done well on the left flank since Hickey has been out, likely meaning the defender will have to earn his minutes back after his time on the sidelines.
