He received the Spireites' readers award at a glitzy Sheffield Star and Green Un Awards night.

Aaron even delayed his flight to Australia to attend the event after being picked for the Olyroos U23 side, which play two vital qualifying matches to reach the finals of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

 

He is due to join up with his team mates this Friday ahead of their games with Iran in Adelaide next Wednesday followed by a training camp in Dubai and a trip to Jordan.

The Olyroos only managed to draw the earlier games against the two Asian Nations, whilst the other two qualifying games played to date, both against Saudi Arabia, resulted in one win and one defeat, making the two forthcoming matches vital 'must win' matches.


If Aaron is selected for either of the games, it will be the first time he's played at U23 level.
