Born on 13 December 2000 in Latvia, Kristers Tobers stands as a promising central defender for Aberdeen at an impressive height of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and a solid weight of 13st 3lb (84kg). Number 24 on the team, Tobers has not only made a name for himself in local Scottish football but also represents his native Latvia on the international stage.
It is estimated that this young footballer's market value circles around the £700k mark according to reliable statistics provided by Transfermarkt.
Before finding his footing at Aberdeen, Tobers commenced his professional football journey at Liepāja, a club in the Virslīga, Latvia's top-tier football league. His potential was soon recognised by scouts from Poland's Ekstraklasa league, and in January 2020, Tobers went on loan to Lechia Gdansk. Over the next three seasons, Tobers proved to be a reliable asset for Lechia Gdansk, repeatedly earning his place on the first team and making numerous league appearances. In July 2020, Lechia Gdansk committed to a full transfer, signing Tobers from Liepāja for an undisclosed fee. Tobers continued to perform consistently, gaining invaluable experience in the competitive Polish league.
In July 2023, Tobers was on the move again, this time to the Grasshoppers, a premier club in Switzerland's Super League. During his time with the Grasshoppers, Tobers continued to enhance his reputation as a reliable central defender and even managed to score a goal in the 2024 - 2025 season before his departure.
Aberdeen, the current club of Tobers, recognised his well-rounded skills and experience and arranged a transfer deal with Grasshoppers in January 2025. The fee for the transfer was around £700k, reflecting Tobers' steadily increasing value in the football market. Having made reliable appearances for Aberdeen since the 2024-25 season, Tobers has shown his commitment to his new club in the Scottish Premiership.
