His first game for the Leeds United senior team came in the Premier League in 2003. Two years later, the winger left Leeds United to sign for North London outfit Tottenham Hotspur.


Spurs paid £1m to sign Aaron Lennon from Leeds United. At the North London club, he had an attacking return of 30 goals in 364 appearances in all  competitions. The Englishman won the first and final major trophy till date as part of the Tottenham Hotspur squad that won the 2008 League Cup by beating London rivals Chelsea in the final.

He was at the North London club for one decade until he signed for Merseyside outfit Everton on the back of a short-term loan spell. The winger left Tottenham Hotspur to join the Toffees in 2015 in a permanent deal said to be worth around £4.5m.

The Clarets gave him a two-and-a-half year deal when he joined them from Everton. Lennon was at Burnley until the end of his contract in the summer of 2020 as he found the back of the net once in 55 matches in all competitions.
