Kristers Tobers, a Latvian footballer born on 13 December 2000, now aged 24, plays his football primarily as a central defender for the Scottish club, Aberdeen. Standing at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 13st 3lb (84kg), Tobers stands out as a solid force on the pitch, donning the number 24 jersey. Alongside his club career, Tobers has also represented his nation, Latvia.
Presently, Tobers has a market value of around £1.0m, according to Transfermarkt. He is contracted to stay with Aberdeen until 30 June 2028, with approximately 3 years and 5 months remaining at their disposal.
In terms of his previous club history, Tobers embarked on a complicated journey before landing in Scotland. In January 2020, he was loaned out from Virslīga club, Liepāja, in Latvia to Ekstraklasa's Lechia Gdansk in Poland. After a debut season with ten league appearances, he made 17, 11 and 27 appearances across the subsequent seasons respectively.
In an interesting turn of events, Tobers left Lechia Gdansk in July 2023 to join the Super League's Grasshoppers in Switzerland. During his time in Switzerland, Tobers made 29 league appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season and ten appearances, with one goal in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
However, the defender was on the move again in January 2025. This time, he left Grasshoppers to join Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. The transfer fee was around £700k. Currently in the 2024 - 2025 season, Tobers has made seven appearances for Aberdeen. In addition, he has contributed to Aberdeen's 2024 - 2025 Scottish Cup campaign with two starts and also represented Latvia in the Euro Qualifiers between 2022 - 2024, scoring one goal in seven starts. Tobers is also currently engaged in the Nations League of 2024 - 2025 for Latvia, resulting in five starts along with one appearance as a substitute.
