Kristers Tobers (born 13 December 2000, age 25) is a Latvian central defender with Aberdeen. At an imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m), he fits the basic physical outline for the role, though his career has been built more on steady senior minutes than noise.
The substantial spell came at Lechia Gdansk, where he made 65 league appearances across four seasons. That is the period which gives his career its shape: a young Latvian defender establishing himself abroad, getting regular football, and becoming more than a passing name on a squad list.
He moved on to Grasshoppers for the 2024-25 season, where he made 10 league appearances and scored once. By 2025-26 he was at Aberdeen, with one league appearance recorded. His market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tobers’ career to date is a practical one: Latvian international pedigree, a defining run at Lechia Gdansk, a shorter spell in Switzerland, and then a move into Scottish football with Aberdeen.
