Aaron Jordan Pierre (born 17 February 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre back for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town and also for the Grenada national team.
Pierre (along with former Fulham youth teammates Jonathan Cosgrove, Albert Owusu-Ansah and Michael Kamau) joined League One side Brentford on trial in April 2011[6] and was the only one of the four to earn a contract.
He made his professional debut for the Bees on 4 December 2012, in a 2–1 defeat to Southend United in the Football League Trophy, coming on as a substitute for Jake Bidwell.
[10] Pierre was the leading appearance-maker for the Development Squad in the 2012–13 season, making 19 starts and scoring two goals,[11] in addition to his solitary first team appearance.
[13] He made his first appearance of the 2013–14 season on 27 August 2013, coming on at half time for Scott Barron in a 5–0 League Cup defeat away at Derby County.
[14] His second appearance came in a 5–3 Football League Trophy first round win over AFC Wimbledon the following week, again replacing Scott Barron at half time.
[15] Pierre was made available for loan in October 2013 and attracted interest from Conference Premier clubs Aldershot Town[16] and Cambridge United.
[26] After missing a few games through injury,[27] Pierre was named on the bench for an FA Trophy second round tie at St Albans City on 14 December.
[29] Brentford academy director Ose Aibangee commented that "even though Aaron's game time was limited at Cambridge, the atmosphere and experience of being involved in a squad pushing for promotion to the Football League is something which he has not experienced before and something he can learn from massively".
[31] Pierre made his Football League debut and the first senior start of his career when he played the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 defeat to Burton Albion on 25 March.
[36] Pierre made his third appearance in a vital 2–0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge on 5 April, lining up against fellow loanee and Brentford teammate Luke Norris.
