Aaron Steele (born 1 February 1987) is an English retired footballer who played as a defender. He began his career at Brentford, for whom he made one professional appearance, before joining Slough Town in 2005 and retiring in 2006.
Playing career
[edit]Brentford
[edit]Steele began his career as a youth at Brentford.[1] His maiden call into the first team squad came for the final League One match of the 2004–05 regular season against already-promoted Hull City and he was an unused substitute during the 2–1 victory.[1][2] Steele failed to appear in Brentford's unsuccessful 2005 playoff campaign,[2] but the decision to release him was reversed and he was retained as a third-year scholar for the 2005–06 season.[3]
Steele received his first call into the first team squad of the 2005–06 season for a League Cup first round match against League Two club Cheltenham Town on 23 August 2005 and made his professional debut when he came on as a substitute for Ryan Peters in the 86th minute of the humiliating 5–0 defeat.[4] He was called into the first team again for a Football League Trophy first round match with Oxford United on 18 October, but remained on the bench during the shootout defeat.[5] Steele was informed in January 2006 that he would not be offered a professional contract and he departed Griffin Park.[6]
Slough Town (loan and permanent signing)
[edit]Steele joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Slough Town on loan in December 2005 and the move became permanent in January 2006.[7][8] He made 23 appearances during the second half of the 2005–06 season and retired from football.[7]
Personal life
[edit]After his retirement from football in 2006, Steele began working as a petroleum operator for the army.[7]
