Taking a look back however, through the upright seats and well-traveled aisles, Schoenfeld\u2019s soccer journey started long before he touched down in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Early in his soccer career, Schoenfeld gained attention as a standout forward for East Tennessee State University. He scored 20 goals in 72 games for the ETSU Buccaneers, as well as racking up many All-Conference, All-Region, and All-Tournament honors. Achieving his dreams of playing professional soccer, he was drafted in the second round of the 2012 MLS Draft by the Montreal Impact but was picked up right away by Columbus Crew after they acquired his rights from Montreal. The day after his signing, he made his professional debut with the team and scored within the first two minutes in the Crew\u2019s 2-0 win against the Impact.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_29687\" style=\"width: 1372px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29687\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1362\" height=\"1081\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737.jpeg 1362w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737-300x238.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737-1024x813.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737-768x610.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7aab36c6-05c1-408d-b986-aa0c4a9e0737-1080x857.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aaron Schoenfeld &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe following year, while on loan with the Dayton Dutch Lions of the USL, Schoenfeld scored 12 goals in 18 games, setting a club record for goals scored in a single season. He returned to Columbus following his dominant USL performance with a new drive. That\u2019s when it started clicking, he observed, and that same year, decided to take his talents overseas.<\/p>\n<p>Schoenfeld has always been very passionate about his Judaism, so to have the ability to play professional soccer in Israel, the Jewish homeland, was a dream come true for him. Acknowledging the historically small number of Jewish MLS players, Schoenfeld mentioned that he \u201ccan\u2019t really relate\u201d to many players in that aspect. However, he has found the league to be very welcoming and has never had issues with practicing his Jewish faith. Playing in Israel, he felt even more accustomed to the culture as it is a home for Jews all around the world. Beginning his journey to Israel, Schoenfeld left Columbus with only a carry-on suitcase, unaware of the success his new campaign would bring.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_29691\" style=\"width: 1291px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29691\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1281\" height=\"846\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591.jpeg 1281w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591-300x198.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591-1024x676.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591-768x507.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1591-1080x713.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1281px) 100vw, 1281px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aaron Schoenfeld &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nHe first signed with Maccabi Netanya, but after the club faced financial struggles, he was signed by Hapoel Tel Aviv following just two games. In true Schoenfeld fashion, he scored during the first game with his new club within the first two minutes. The goal came off his first touch in the much-anticipated Tel Aviv Derby, one of the most exciting games of the season, with popularity and energy that he compared to the Super Bowl. The next season, he signed a deal with Hapoel Tel Aviv\u2019s biggest rival, Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he had yet another successful run before returning back to the states in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Schoenfeld quickly gained popularity in the Israel soccer scene, with some of his biggest career accomplishments happening there. Most notably, scoring the winning goal for Maccabi Tel Aviv in their championship game to sew up the Israel league title in 2019. His time in Israel led him to gain a new sense of independence, which he found to be freeing. \u201cIt was something completely different. I didn\u2019t know anyone there, but it helped take me out of my comfort zone,\u201d he said. He also emphasized the amount of knowledge he gained from playing in a different league with a different style of play. \u201cThe league is really technical, but not as much physical,\u201d which led Schoenfeld to focus on parts of his game he might not always accentuate.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_29685\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29685\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/e0edbdec-8374-4146-be22-5302ba5399d2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/e0edbdec-8374-4146-be22-5302ba5399d2.jpeg 950w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/e0edbdec-8374-4146-be22-5302ba5399d2-278x300.jpeg 278w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/e0edbdec-8374-4146-be22-5302ba5399d2-768x828.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aaron Schoenfeld &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nUpon his return to the United States, Schoenfeld joined Minnesota United FC for one season before signing as a free agent with his current team in their inaugural MLS season, Austin FC. As the team gears up for their first games, Schoenfeld reflected on his career and the new perspectives he gained throughout his journey.<\/p>\n<p>During his early MLS days, to even be drafted was an extraordinary opportunity. Then, to additionally be able to pursue his dreams of playing in Israel was a major career breakthrough that brought new insights and aspirations. While preparing for Austin FC\u2019s upcoming season, Schoenfeld is most excited to be a part of the team\u2019s milestones. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to being part of the club\u2019s history.
