Born in Latvia on 13 December 2000, Kristers Tobers is presently 25 years old and has made his mark as a formidable central defender for Aberdeen. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and carrying a weight of 13st 3lb (84kg), Tobers proves to be a robust presence on the field, aptly complemented by his number 24 jersey. Apart from his current role at Aberdeen, Tobers has also had the honour of representing his homeland as part of the Latvia national team.
According to Transfermarkt, Tobers' market value is estimated to be around the vicinity of £700,000.
Tobers' career began to take flight in January 2020, following his transfer from Liepāja in the Latvian Virslīga to Lechia Gdansk in Poland's top-tier Ekstraklasa on a loan basis. His debut season in 2019-2020 witnessed him making ten first-team appearances in league games. In the subsequent 2020-2021 season, Tobers' participation increased to 17 league matches, further escalating to 27 by the 2022-2023 season.
In July 2020, Tobers transferred permanently to Lechia Gdansk from Liepāja, for an undisclosed fee, following promising performances during his loan period. Over the next four years, Tobers secured a consistent spot in the first team, making over 27 appearances in his final season with the Polish club.
Upon bidding farewell to Lechia Gdansk, Tobers embarked on a new chapter in his career by joining Grasshoppers in the Swiss Super League in July 2023. His performances remained steadfast, with the defender making 29 first team appearances in the 2023-2024 season and achieving his maiden goal in the following 2024-2025 season, despite only participating in ten league fixtures.
January 2025 marked Tobers' most recent transfer, moving to Aberdeen in Scotland's Premiership. The fee surrounding this transfer was reported to be in the region of £700,000. Since arriving in Scotland, Tobers has made a steady start to his career at Aberdeen, making eleven appearances across his first two seasons.
In addition to his club duties, Tobers' talents have also been recognised on the international stage. He participated in the Euro Qualifiers from 2022-2024 for Latvia, scoring a single goal across seven starts. He also took part in the Nations League during 2024-2025 with five starts and one appearance as a substitute.
