Aron Stuart Singh Nijjar (born 24 September 1994) is an English cricketer who most recently played for Essex County Cricket Club. Primarily a left-handed slow left-arm orthodox bowler, he also bats left-handed. He made his First-class debut for Essex against Leicestershire in May 2015. He made his Twenty20 debut for Essex in the 2018 t20 Blast on 17 August 2018.[1]

Despite consistent performances with bat and ball in the Essex 2nd XI, the excellence and uninterrupted availability of spin-bowling all-rounder Simon Harmer limited Nijjar's appearances for the Essex first team. In September 2023 Nijjar joined Kent on loan for the last three games of the season.[2] On 14 September 2023, Nijjar was released by Essex.[3]
