Having struggled on and off the pitch in 2016, Sheffield sold Aston to Super League side Leeds Rhinos for £75,000 on a three-year deal, beating off the likes of Wigan and Warrington for his signature. Aston signed a 2-year deal with the Rhinos, the plan was for him to provide cover for Danny McGuire. Aston did not make a single appearance for Leeds in 2017, as he spent most of the season on loan at Featherstone and then Bradford. Ahead of the 2018 season, Aston was released by the Rhinos.[7]

Castleford Tigers

[edit]

In December 2017, Aston signed a two-year deal for the 2017 Super League Finalists the Castleford Tigers.[8] In late January, Aston agreed yet another loan deal to the Championship as he rejoined his father in Sheffield. He made his Super League debut in round 11 of the 2019 season vs Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, where he started at scrum-half and scored a try.
