The 24-year-old, who spent the first half of the 2019/20 campaign on loan at League One side Wycombe Wanderers, has linked up with Steve Robinson’s men for the remainder of this term.
Aarons, who made his United debut in 2014, has made 27 appearances for the Magpies, scoring four times.
In recent seasons, the former England Under-20 international has spent time on loan at Hellas Verona in Italy, Slovan Liberec in the Czech Republic and at Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.
Aarons’ most recent loan stint saw him play 13 times for Gareth Ainsworth’s Chairboys, netting twice for the third tier outfit.
He could make his debut for the Well in their Scottish Premiership clash with Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Saturday afternoon.
