I'll give my all – Aaron Essel vows to leave everything on pitch for Sacramento Republic

New Ghanaian signing Aaron Essel has pledged total commitment to Sacramento Republic FC, promising fans that he will give everything for the badge following his transfer from Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone.

The 20-year-old midfielder spoke with genuine excitement about the move, making it clear that his approach will be simple: work hard and leave nothing behind.

"I can't wait to get on the field and give my all for the team and the supporters," Essel declared.

His words will resonate with a Sacramento fanbase known for its passionate football culture. The midfielder understands the weight of expectation and appears ready to embrace it.

Essel is no stranger to American football, having previously spent time on loan at MLS NEXT Pro side North Texas SC, where he made 17 appearances in 2025, scoring twice and registering one assist while maintaining an 86% passing accuracy.

The former Bechem United star has also represented Ghana at a senior level, making his debut against Nigeria in the Unity Cup in May 2025.

Once league approval, his P-1 visa, and International Transfer Certificate are finalised, Essel will officially join the squad. Until then, his message to Sacramento remains the same: he is ready to work, and he will give his all.
