Aaron Hickey has signed a contract extension with Brentford until 2028. Hickey joined Brentford from Bologna in July 2022 on a four-year contract in a £14million deal. The full-back enjoyed an impressive debut season and made 26 appearances in the Premier League despite suffering an ankle injury which ruled him out for three months. Last season, the Scotland international started nine of Brentford’s opening 10 games but then sustained a serious hamstring injury in training. Hickey underwent surgery and was supposed to return before the end of that season but suffered a setback in February.
