Aaron Spraine (born 13 October 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Dunfermline Athletic. Splaine, who started his career as a youth player for Queen of the South, has also played for Kilmarnock.
Born in Spain, Splaine was brought up in Newton Stewart and joined local side Queen of the South at youth level. Splaine spent five years at Palmerston Park, before following Queen's manager Allan Johnston to Kilmarnock when he took over as manager in 2013.
Splaine made his debut in the penultimate Scottish Premiership match of the 2014–15 season, against Ross County at Rugby Park. Although Kilmarnock lost the match 1–2, Splaine was praised for the composed way that he operated in midfield, with BBC Scotland correspondent Kenny Crawford describing him as looking like a "seasoned professional". Splaine went on to make a further eight appearances for the club, before being released on 23 May 2016 along with five other players at the end of their contract.
After a six months away from football, Splaine attracted the interest of Scottish League One club Stranraer and began training with the side, featuring in a number of development matches. He subsequently had trials with Leeds United and Burnley before signing a one-year deal with Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic on 15 June 2017, joining up with former Queen of the South and Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston.
