The winger has brought to an end a nine-year spell with the Magpies, who he joined from Bristol City in 2012.

Aarons only ended up making 27 appearances for the first-team in that time, as he had a number of loan spells in the last few years.

The former England U20 star had a number of injury problems during his time at St. James’ Park.

Speaking about Huddersfield’s new capture, manager Coach Carlos Corberán said (htafc.com): “Rolando is a winger who can play on the right and the left, which is something very positive for the squad; it is important to have players who can cover a couple of positions.

“Technically, he is aggressive in the one vs one situations, he has good balance and he also has the skills to unbalance the opponents.”

Aarons, a popular figure at the club, was wished well on social media by many Newcastle supporters, some of whom couldn’t help but wonder what might have been had he been able to stay fit.
