Aaron Hickey
23-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hickey missed almost two full seasons with a hamstring injury but returned to the bench for the 2024/25 season finale, and he'll have a full preseason to get back to match speed. Prior to his injury, Hickey was considered one of the more promising full-backs in the Premier League. He has the ability to play on the right or left, both as a wing-back or traditional full-back. Getting back to that consistent starting role is the big question for him entering the new season. If he can win the job, he'll immediately have fantasy value as an attacking full-back.
First competitive start back
Hickey got the start and played 60 minutes during Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Hickey made his first competitive start in two years after finally recovering from a serious injury. The defender has appeared off the bench in the first two Premier League matches and was fit throughout pre-season. It's unclear if Hickey will be able to take his place in the starting XI back, but the fact he was deemed fit to start Tuesday and played 60 minutes is a great sign that his recovery is finally in the past.
