Aidan first started playing volleyball in 2005, when he was offered an
AIS scholarship at the age of 15. At the end of that year he moved to Canberra
to train full-time with the Australian Youth and Junior Programs. He was first selected for the Senior National Team at the age of 18.

His first professional contract was in 2009 with Linkoping
Volleyball Club winning the Swedish Championship in that Season. He played the
2010 World Championships in Italy, and after that he joined Marmi Lanza Verona
in A1.

 He has since stayed with that club for the last four years. He played
2012 London Olympics with the Volleyroos. He was named as “Australian Player of the Year” in 2012.

After one season off, Aidan is coming back to play for the National Team and help them to qualify for Rio Olympics 2016.
