Brenden Aaronson has signed a new three-year contract with Leeds United, the club announced Thursday. The 25-year-old United States international joined Leeds in 2022 after beginning his professional career with the Philadelphia Union in MLS and spending the 2021-22 season at RB Salzburg.

"Everyone at Leeds United is thrilled Brenden has extended his stay with the club ahead of our opening league fixture this weekend against Nottingham Forest," the club said in a statement. "We now look forward to seeing him continue to impress at Elland Road and away from home over the years to come."

During the recent 2025-26 Premier League campaign, Aaronson provided four goals and five assists across 37 matches for Leeds and has made 129 appearances since moving to the club. Ahead of the 2026-27 season, the attacking midfielder has stood out in preseason friendlies with goals against Liverpool and Manchester United.

Earlier in the summer, Aaronson was part of the U.S. team that reached the round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup, making one appearance during the group stage.
