'He is definitely above this level' – Gareth Ainsworth hails Newcastle United winger as he lights up Sunderland's League One rivals
And the manager of Sunderland’s League One rivals believes Aarons should not be playing in the third tier of English football.

Aarons opened his account for the Chairboys in the 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.
The 23-year-old winger has been frozen out at St James’s Park by head coach Steve Bruce, despite the manager signing him on loan at Sheffield Wednesday last season.
