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.
Finds bench role
Hickey (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Fulham.
ANALYSIS
Hickey returns to the matchday squad after around two months out with a hamstring issue, with manager Keith Andrews confirming he had a good week of training ahead of the Fulham fixture. The full-back started seven of his 18 appearances before the injury, and a bench role represents a logical first step in his comeback with Michael Kayode and Keane Lewis-Potter set to keep their full-back roles. His versatility to play on either side could see him work his way into more minutes over Lewis-Potter in the coming fixtures.
