Aaron Tshibola, a midfielder, was born on 2 January 1995 in England and currently plies his trade for Kilmarnock FC, where he primarily features as a central midfielder. He carries a physical presence, standing at around 1.91m (6ft 3in) and weighing 81kg (12st 10lb). He wears the jersey numbering 36. According to Transfermarkt, Tshibola's current market value is roughly £300k, a relative bargain in today's inflated market.
He started his club career at Reading in March 2011, managing a solitary appearance in his debut season of 2014 - 2015 and going on to make 12 appearances in the subsequent season. A loan move to Hartlepool United materialised in January 2015 where he made a commendable 23 league appearances in his time there before returning to Reading.
In July 2016, a sizeable £5m transfer took Tshibola away from Reading to Aston Villa. His stay there was marred by a lack of first-team opportunities and resulted in a goal from just eight league appearances. This led to short loans with Nottingham Forest and MK Dons where he made four and 12 league appearances respectively.
The winter of 2018 saw him move on loan to Kilmarnock, where he made a promising start, making 12 appearances in his first season. His second season proved more fruitful, and he impressed with a solid one goal in 27 appearances. His consistency was further cemented in 2020 - 2021 when he made 31 appearances, chipping in with three goals.
An overseas move beckoned in August 2019 as he transferred from Aston Villa to Waasland-Beveren in Belgium. Adapting to a new league, he made eight appearances before moving to Portugal with Desportivo Aves where he featured four times. Four spells followed, at Genclerbirligi in Turkey, AEL Limassol in Cyprus, Hatta in UAE and finally Lamia in Greece, where he managed 12 appearances and two goals.
In a relatively short time period, he transferred to Levadiakos and then back to Kilmarnock, his current abode. In the current 2025 - 2026 season, Tshibola has featured three times for the Scottish side. Over his varied career, Tshibola has proven to be a reliable midfielder, always ready to offer his services wherever required.
