It is an exciting time for Aaronson and he hopes to make this season one to remember by helping to shoot Leeds back into the big time.
Aaronson had played a full 90 minutes for USA in Mexico, playing at high altitude in Guadalajara, in a game that did not finish until just before 6am UK time on the Wednesday.
He said: "It’s always tough with the national team, going all the way to the US and back, but I’ve done it for the last four and a half years playing club football in Europe so I’m used to it.
Aaronson - nicknamed the Metford Messi back home - bucked the trend in the small New Jersey town by taking up "soccer" while most of his friends were into baseball and American Football.
Having played 36 games in the Premier League after joining from Red Bull Salzburg in May 2022 in a £24.7million deal, he activated a relegation-release loan clause to spend last season with Bundesliga club Union Berlin to anger supporters.
