Creative midfielder Aston was a regular starter for the under 18s over the past couple of seasons and started to make the step up to under 21s football last season ahead of a professional contract this summer.

A constant set-piece threat, Aston scored several direct free-kicks last season and when he became a starter for the under 21s, Aston scored in both the Professional Development League national semi-final and final to help the Blades to a first national title.
