About the player
Aaron Tshibola's career has taken him through several clubs and continents since he left Reading's academy. He first arrived at Kilmarnock on loan from Aston Villa in January 2018, returned for a second loan spell that August and made 39 league appearances, then came back on a permanent one-year deal in July 2020, scoring three goals in 31 league games. After spells in Turkey, Cyprus, the UAE and Greece, he signed for Kilmarnock again in February 2026, making it his third stint at the club.
Tshibola came through Reading's youth system, signing his first professional contract in 2011 and winning the U21 Premier League Cup with the club's under-21 side in 2013–14. He made 13 senior appearances before Aston Villa paid a reported £5 million for him in July 2016, a fee that never translated into a settled run in the first team.
He left Scotland in 2019 for Waasland-Beveren, then Aves in Portugal, a spell cut short by the Portuguese club's financial difficulties.
Internationally, Tshibola made his senior debut for DR Congo on 27 March 2018 against Tanzania and has earned 16 caps, scoring once during 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
