Grimsby-born Braithwaite usually plays in a central position in midfield, but is capable of playing in a variety of positions.

On loan from his boyhood club until the end of the season, Aaron progressed all the way through the Mariners’ Academy system after impressing during an open trial session at Under 9 level.

Aaron made the first-team squad in the 2021/22 season in the FA Trophy whilst many Mariners fans were treated to their first sight of Aaron during the 2021/22 pre-season campaign, where he started against Cleethorpes Town, putting in an energetic and impressive performance.

Aaron made his professional debut for the Mariners as a substitute in the Papa John's Trophy away to Derby County.
