Sam Aiston (born November 21, 1976 in Newcastle upon Tyne) is an English professional footballer who plays for Wrexham as a midfielder. He has made over 200 appearances in the Premier League and the Football League, particularly for Sunderland, Chester City, Shrewsbury Town, Tranmere Rovers, Northampton Town and Wrexham.
[edit] Career
Aiston began his career at Newcastle United in 1994 but made no appearances for the club before joining Sunderland in 1995, where he made over 20 first-team appearances, most as substitute.[1] He was loaned to Chester City, Stoke City and Shrewsbury Town,[1] before joining Shrewsbury for a £50,000 transfer fee in the summer of 2000.[1] Aiston made 165 league appearances for Shrewsbury, scoring seven goals,[1] helping the club to promotion from the Nationwide Conference at the end of the 2003-04 season.[2] He was released by Shrewsbury at the end of the 2004–05 season and joined Tranmere Rovers in July 2005,[3] where he made over 40 league and cup appearances in the 2005–06 season.[1] He was released by Tranmere at the end of the season, and joined Northampton Town.[4] Injuries meant he struggled to command a regular first team place and he dropped into the Conference National for a loan spell with Burton Albion.[5]
In November 2007, Aiston joined Wrexham on loan, having previously played for Wrexham manager Brian Little at Tranmere Rovers.[6] Aiston made his debut in a 2-2 draw with Chester City three days later. In January 2008, Aiston's move to Wrexham was made into a permanent signing.[7] He was transfer listed by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference.[8]
