Aaron Tshibola, born on 2 January 1995 (age 31), is a DR Congo international midfielder with Kilmarnock. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is primarily a central midfielder and wears squad number 36.
His early senior career was shaped by loan football, the usual hard schooling for a young midfielder trying to turn promise into proper first-team minutes. Those spells gave him the base for a career that has since taken him through several clubs and back into Scottish football with Kilmarnock.
His best league return came at Kilmarnock in 2020-21, when he scored three goals in 31 appearances. That was his most productive season in front of goal, though his game has generally been built more around physical presence and midfield work than regular scoring.
In 2026-27, Tshibola has made 10 league appearances for Kilmarnock and three more in the League Cup, giving him 13 appearances in all competitions this season. He has also been involved internationally, making three appearances for DR Congo in African World Cup qualifying.
His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt. Tshibola’s career has settled into the shape of an established professional midfielder, with Kilmarnock now the latest stage of a route built on early loans, regular moves and international recognition.
