Club career
AC Milan
Aubameyang was born in Paris, France. He 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] He did not appear in the league for Milan.
Loan spells
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]
Kilmarnock
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 league draw against Motherwell.[8] In summer 2011, Aubameyang's short-term contract with Kilmarnock expired and he left the club.
FC Kray
Aubameyang trialled with Borussia Dortmund II while his brother Pierre-Emerick played for the club's first team but did not earn a contract.[9] Instead he signed for Regionalliga West club FC Kray in November 2014.[9] In January 2016, he did not return from family holidays in Italy to appear for training at FC Kray[10] and left the club which was fighting relegation.[11]
International career
Born in France, Aubameyang chose to play with the Gabonese national jersey, with which he made his debut on 6 June 2009 against Togo in a qualifying match at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, replacing his half-brother Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at 79th minute.[12]
He was part of the squad that participated in the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, where he never played.
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 A.C. Milan like him.
