Early Life

Aujla was born and brought up in Bradford where he played football for the youth team of Sunday League side Queensbury Celtic. He also played for Bradford Schoolboys for three years before joining Bradford City aged 14. http://desiballers.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/from-bradford-to-belgium-via-bengal/

Bradford City

Aujla left school aged 16 to sign a two-year apprenticeship with the Bantams, playing for the youth and reserve side and training with the first team. He became a regular in the reserve side during his first season making over 40 appearances playing at both right back and central midfield which led to him being named as Young player of the year in 2005. His second year however was a disappointing one as injuries and a change of personnel at the club saw him released in 2006.

Chester City

Following his release at Bradford City, Aujla was signed by Chester City manager Mark Wright. Competition at the club was high and Aujla was unable to get much of a chance to break into the first team, making a handful of reserve appearances before leaving in 2007. http://www.chester-city.co.uk/stats_reserves0607.asp
