Early life

Born in Newham in London, England.[2]

Club career

Reading

Tshibola joined Reading's academy at age thirteen[3] and signed his first professional deal with the club in March 2011.[4] While in the Reading Academy, Tshibola went on trial with Manchester United.[5]

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Tshibola signed a new contract with Reading, keeping him at the club until 2016.[6] Then on 23 August 2014, he made his professional debut as an 86th-minute substitute in a Championship fixture against Nottingham Forest.[7]

On 9 September 2015, Tshibola extended his contract with Reading until the summer of 2019.[8]

On 2 January 2015, he moved to League Two side Hartlepool United on a one-month loan deal,[9] before making his debut the next day in a 1–0 loss against Wycombe Wanderers.[10] His first four appearances at the club earned Tshibola a loan extension until the end of the season.[11] His loan spell extension led manager Ronnie Moore to thank Tshibola for his commitment at Hartlepool United.[12] He was then awarded Man of the match, in a 3–2 win over Plymouth Argyle after an impressive performance when he assisted one of the goals in the game.[13]

Aston Villa

On 10 July 2016, Tshibola moved to Aston Villa on a four-year contact, for an undisclosed fee.[14] He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United on 24 September 2016.[15]

On 30 January 2017, Tshibola moved to Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.[16]

On 27 July 2017, Tshibola joined EFL League One side Milton Keynes Dons on a season-long loan deal.[17]

International career

Tshibola was called up by England U18 and made his debut, coming on as a substitute in the second half, in a 1–0 loss against Belgium on 5 March 2013.[18]

He is also eligible to represent The Democratic Republic of the Congo due to his African ancestry.[19] He was called up to the DR Congo national football team for a friendly against Kenya on 26 March 2017, but did not make an appearance.[20]
