Player Info
Aaron Long is a stalwart American center-back and a key defensive pillar for Los Angeles FC and the United States Men's National Team. The 33-year-old defender's path to stardom was unconventional, rising from the USL to become MLS Defender of the Year and a national team regular. Long's professional breakthrough came with the New York Red Bulls, where his athleticism, recovery speed, and intelligent reading of the game earned him the 2018 MLS Defender of the Year award. He was instrumental in the Red Bulls' successes, including winning the Supporters' Shield. A serious Achilles injury in 2021 tested his resilience, but he returned to top form, earning a high-profile move to LAFC in 2023. With LAFC, he added an MLS Cup to his honors in 2023, forming a formidable partnership at the back. His international career includes multiple CONCACAF Gold Cup triumphs and appearances in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Long's story is one of perseverance, transforming from a midfielder into one of the league's most reliable defenders through hard work and elite physical attributes.
