His all-around play and tireless work ethic made him a key figure in Scotland.
Prior to that, he honed his skills with Bechem United FC in the Ghana Premier League, playing in three seasons and 68 games.
“Aaron is bringing with him established professional and international experience,” North Texas head coach John Gall said.
“A midfield dynamo, he takes over the middle of the park with his quality and tenacity. He is a reflection of the standard we are establishing here at the club, and we are looking forward to having him on the pitch for us.”
Essel has played for Ghana internationally at the U20 and U23 levels. Most recently, he captained the U23 team in a match against Morocco.
As North Texas strives for success in the MLS NEXT Pro season, his work ethic and leadership will be crucial.
