DONE DEAL: Ghana U20 Defender Aaron Essel Joins North Texas SC from St. Johnstone

Ghanaian U20 defender Aaron Essel has secured a move to North Texas SC, an affiliate club of FC Dallas in the MLS Next Pro league. The young defender joins the American side from St. Johnstone in Scotland on a deal that runs until the end of the season.

Essel, a promising talent in Ghanaian football, initially moved to St. Johnstone from Bechem United Football Club, a side competing in the Ghana Premier League. His switch to North Texas SC presents an opportunity for him to gain more playing time and further his development in a competitive environment.

The move to the United States marks an important step in Essel’s career, as he looks to impress in the MLS Next Pro and potentially earn a place in the FC Dallas first team. With his defensive qualities and international experience at the U20 level, he is expected to be a valuable asset to North Texas SC as they push for success in the ongoing season.

Essel’s transfer continues the trend of Ghanaian players making moves to the North American soccer scene, following in the footsteps of several compatriots who have found success in the MLS and its affiliated leagues.

North Texas SC will be hoping that Essel’s addition strengthens their backline as they compete in the MLS Next Pro league. Fans will be eager to see how the young Ghanaian adapts to his new environment and contributes to his team’s ambitions for the season.
