Aron Benjaminsen

Aron Benjaminsen of Heart of Midlothian was born on 2 November 2007 (age 19).

Aron Benjaminsen, born on 2 November 2007 (age 19), is a Faroese right winger whose senior career has been shaped chiefly by Víkingur Gøta. That was where he made his clearest mark, scoring eight league goals in 20 appearances during the 2026 season.

He later moved into Scottish football with Hearts, taking squad number 27. In 2026-27 he has made one League Cup appearance and one Conference League qualifier appearance, scoring twice in Europe, giving him two goals in two first-team outings for the club.

Benjaminsen has also represented the Faroe Islands, with one Nations League appearance this season. At this stage, his career is still best read through that productive Víkingur Gøta spell, with Hearts the next step rather than the main body of work.
