Kristers Tobers, born on the 13th of December 2000 and now aged 25, hails from Latvia. This professional footballer made a name for himself primarily as a central defender for Aberdeen. Standing at a formidable 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing a solid 13st 3lb (84kg), Tobers is a presence on the pitch. He proudly dons the number 24 jersey. In addition to his club commitments, he has been privileged to wear the colours of his national team, Latvia.
The current market value of this promising player is reported to be around £680k, according to information provided by Transfermarkt.
Tobers initiated his professional journey in January 2020 when he moved on loan from Liepāja, based in the Virslīga in Latvia, to Lechia Gdansk, a team in the Ekstraklasa in Poland. Here, over various seasons, he built on his experience, making 65 first team appearances in league matches by 2023. In July of the same year, a more permanent transfer saw Tobers transition from his home team Liepāja to Lechia Gdansk, but his playing time here remained unchanged.
The next change came in July 2023 when Tobers relocated from Lechia Gdansk to Grasshoppers in Switzerland's Super League. Here, over two seasons, he made a total of 39 first team appearances and scored one goal, testament to his defensive prowess.
In a significant move in January 2025, Tobers transferred from Grasshoppers to Aberdeen, here in the Premiership in Scotland, with a transfer fee of around £700k. His debut season saw him notch ten appearances in league matches, and he is off to a promising start this season with one appearance thus far.
On the international front, Tobers has represented his native Latvia in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, delivering five starts and a single appearance as a substitute.
