At the age of 19, Aharon made his debut for the senior side of Hapoel Jerusalem. From there on he became one of the most important players for the club as he was the main goalscorer for Hapoel. He is regarded as an icon in Hapoel Jerusalem.[2]

On 3 May 2010 he was appointed as the manager of Hapoel while still an active player in the club.[3] Later that month he decided to leave the club after he had enough of the way the club was operating.
