Aron Benjaminsen

Aron Benjaminsen of Heart of Midlothian was born on 2 November 2007 (age 19).

Aron Benjaminsen, born on 2 November 2007 (age 19), is a Faroe Islands right winger now on Hearts’ books, wearing squad number 27.

His career is still early, but it is already shaped mainly by Víkingur Gøta. In the 2026 league season he scored eight goals in 20 appearances, a productive return and the clearest body of senior work attached to him so far.

At Hearts in 2026-27, Benjaminsen has made one League Cup appearance and one in Conference League qualifying, scoring twice in Europe. He has also represented the Faroe Islands this season, making one Nations League appearance.

For now, his record is a compact one: a strong league season at Víkingur Gøta, a brief early impact at Hearts, and the beginnings of a senior international profile.

In the 2026–27 season Benjaminsen's appearances are concentrated in cup and qualifying fixtures – one League Cup appearance, one Nations League appearance and a Conference League Qualifiers outing in which he scored two goals; that distribution suggests Hearts have deployed him primarily in cup rotation and European-qualifier opportunities rather than as a regular league starter.
