Aidan Borland

Aidan Borland of Aston Villa was born on 25 April 2007 (age 19).

Aidan Borland, born on 25 April 2007 (age 19), is a Scottish central midfielder who came through Celtic before moving south at a young age.

He left Celtic in July 2023 for Aston Villa, with the fee reported at around £300,000. It was an early move rather than a senior breakthrough, and Villa have so far used him sparingly at first-team level.

In the 2025-26 season, Borland has yet to make a league appearance for Aston Villa, though he has featured once in the FA Cup. Across all competitions, that remains his only senior Villa appearance to date, with no goals.

His profile on Transfermarkt reflects a young player still at the development stage. His career so far is a Celtic academy exit followed by a gradual attempt to establish himself at Aston Villa.
