Florian Kamberi (born 8 March 1995) is a Swiss-born Albanian footballer who plays for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen, on loan from Swiss club St. Gallen, as a forward. Kamberi has previously played for Grasshopper, Karlsruher SC, Hibernian and Rangers. He represented Switzerland at the under-21 level, and has since been selected for the Albania squad.

Club career

Grasshoppers

Kamberi started his professional career with Swiss club Grasshoppers. On 31 August 2016, Kamberi was loaned to Karlsruher SC for the 2016–17 season in 2. Bundesliga.[1][2]

Hibernian

Kamberi went on trial with Scottish Premiership club Hibernian in January 2018,[3] and moved there on loan on 31 January.[4] Kamberi made his debut for Hibernian later that day, and scored the first goal in a 2–1 win against Motherwell.[5] Kamberi scored a hat-trick for Hibs on 3 April, in a 3–1 win against Hamilton.[6][7]

In June 2018, Hibernian signed Kamberi to a three-year contract.[8] Kamberi scored a hat-trick in a Europa League qualifier against NSÍ Runavík on 12 July.[9]

Loan spell to Rangers

Kamberi moved on loan to Rangers on 31 January 2020.[10] Following the end of this loan period, and after a period spent in Switzerland during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kamberi returned to Hibernian for pre-season training in June 2020.[11]

St. Gallen

On 6 August 2020, Kamberi moved back to his native Switzerland to sign for St. Gallen on a three-year deal.[12][13] Kamberi tested positive for COVID-19 in November 2020, and played infrequently for St. Gallen during the early part of the 2020/21 season.[14]

Loan spell to Aberdeen

On 1 February 2021, Kamberi completed a loan switch back to Scotland to sign with Aberdeen until the end of the season.[15]

International career

Kamberi was born in Switzerland and is of Kosovan descent,[16][17][18] which made him eligible to represent Switzerland, Kosovo and Albania.[19] Kamberi played in youth internationals for Switzerland,[20] and he scored for their under-21 team in a 1–1 draw against England in March 2016.[21]

Kamberi was included in the Albania squad for the first time in November 2019.[22] Delays in processing the paperwork required to transfer his international status from Switzerland to Albania, and a slight ankle injury, meant that he was unable to play in their matches with Andorra and France.[23]
