William-Fils "Willy" Aubameyang (born 16 February 1987) is a French-born Gabonese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. He currently plays for Kray.

Club career

Aubameyang joined AC Milan from Triestina in 2005.[1] Over his first three seasons at the club, he played in their youth teams, though appearing as an unused substitute for the first team in some Serie A and Coppa Italia games, as well as playing several pre-season friendlies (once even scoring against Juventus).[2] On 20 December 2007, he eventually made his official debut in a Coppa Italia match against Catania.[3]

Aubameyang spent the following seasons on various loan spells: at Avellino in 2008–09,[4] at Belgian side Eupen in 2009–10,[5] and at Monza in the first half of the 2010–11 season.[6]

In January 2011, he was signed permanently by Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock, after a successful trial.[7] He scored his first and only goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Motherwell.[8] In summer 2011, Aubameyang's short term contract with Kilmarnock expired and he has since left the club.

International career

Aubameyang has been called up by the Gabonese national team since 2009.

Personal life

His father Pierre is a former Gabonese international; while his two brothers Catilina and Pierre-Emerick are footballers too and have both played at Milan like him.
