Aaron Tshibola, born 2 January 1995 (age 31), is a DR Congo international central midfielder with Kilmarnock. At an imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he brings obvious size to the middle of the park, though his career has been built more on steady senior minutes than any great fuss.
His early development was shaped by loan football, the sort of practical education that can matter for a young midfielder learning the tempo and physical demands of the senior game. Those spells gave him the platform to move into a career that has taken in different clubs and a fair few resets along the way.
Kilmarnock has been one of his more productive settings. In 2020-21 he scored three league goals in 31 appearances, his best league return to date. In 2026-27, wearing squad number 36, he has made five league appearances and three in the League Cup, giving him eight appearances in all for the club this season.
He has also remained involved internationally, making three appearances for DR Congo in African World Cup qualifying this season. His market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tshibola’s career has been that of an established professional midfielder: developed through early loans, productive at times in Scotland, and still part of the Kilmarnock squad while continuing to represent DR Congo.
