Aaron Onion is on trial with Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC in National League North (6th tier) in England. Not to be confused with Bradford AFC in League One. Looks like he's been at Nebraska Wesleyan: https://nwusports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3097 And Western Illinois: https://goleathernecks.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=16964 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronOnion Recruiting profile: https://evo.nsr-inc.com/prospect_detail?prospect_id=198947
On the bench: TEAM NEWS 📋 | Here's how #BPAFC will line-up today against @YORKS_REGT👇#BPALive pic.twitter.com/TezBfmYhJw— Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC (@BPAFCOfficial) July 14, 2018 The match for some kind of trophy ended up 15-0 to Bradford Park. I didn't see Onion mentioned as a sub. Yesterday: Mark Bower fielded an experimental side once again, opting to take a further look at numerous trialists and handing first-team opportunities to scholars Lewis Johnson and Matthew Rowntree. American trialist Aaron Onion also appeared as a second-half substitute after joining on a temporary basis from Bugeaters F.C in Nebraska. Both sides made eleven changes during the game but whereas Bradford’s changes were staggered, Mansfield made eleven substitutions during the half-time break. FULL-TIME: Bradford (Park Avenue) 0-3 Mansfield Town Bradford (PA): Drench, Trialist, Lowe, Trialist, Killock, Trialist, McKenna, Boshell, Trialist, Trialist, Clee. Substitutes (all featured): Toulson, Trialist, Wroe, Havern, Spencer, Nowakowski, Johnson, Trialist, Onion, Johnson, Rowntree. Mansfield Town (first-half): Olejnik, Pearce, Preston, Cameron, White, Benning, MacDonald, Bishop, Khan, Walker, Davies. Mansfield Town (second-half): Logan, Atkinson, Wilder, Digby, Gibbens, Hamilton, Butcher, Mellis, Sterling-James (Blake 83′), Angol, Graham. Referee: James Bell http://bpafc.com/match-report-bradford-pa-0-3-mansfield-town/ With the "Onion" reference and mention of a "Bugeaters FC" in Nebraska, the English expression "are they putting us on?" came to mind. But there *is* a Bugeaters FC in Nebraska in the UPSL.
