Brentwood Town can confirm that defender Romel Aarons Royal has agreed terms to return to the club for the 2025/26 season. A key part of our title-winning defence last season, he made 43 appearances, scoring three times.

Having had considerable interest from clubs further up the football pyramid, Aarons Royal has opted to return to CM15 for the new season.

When asked about his return to Brentwood, Aarons Royal said, "It feels good to be back with the boys, after what happened last season. Winning the league was a massive achievement in my career. I'm truly grateful to have the privilege of coming back.

Whilst we don’t want to put too much pressure on ourselves, we want to make a statement that we can compete, and we’re not to be taken lightly."
