Narrative:

Aircraft X was instructed to taxi to runway 7R via B and a. Aircraft X asked again for taxi route. Was instructed to taxi via B; a for the second time. Both read backs were correct. Noticed on asde aircraft was squawking wrong code. Aircraft was told to squawk correct code. As the aircraft continued taxing the aircraft turned left on taxiway right instead of continuing on taxiway B to join taxiway a. It's not an unusual occurrence for aircraft that have been given this specific taxi route to turn onto taxiway a at taxiway right instead of continuing on taxiway B to join taxiway a. As the aircraft turned onto taxiway right; the aircraft continued straight on taxiway right where it promptly intersects runway 7R. Aircraft was given instructions to hold short runway 7R. It appeared from my view the aircraft was holding short of the runway 7R hold short lines when it stopped. I asked the aircraft if it was able to make a right turn back on to taxiway a. The crew said it was unable to. I asked the aircraft if it was past the hold short line. The aircraft indicated it was past the hold short line. It was around this time the local controller sent an aircraft on or around a 5 mile final to go around. Shortly thereafter aircraft X stated it could in fact make the right turn onto taxiway a. The aircraft made the right turn and continued to runway 7R via taxiway a. The brasher notification was given by the departure controller after the aircraft departed. Improve airport markings/pavement painting. As stated above; this an everyday taxi route given to aircraft that taxi to runway 7R. It's not an unusual occurrence for aircraft to make a left turn onto taxiway right to join taxiway a instead of continuing on taxiway B to join taxiway a. Being a controller in training and only certified on ground control for roughly 2 months; I have seen this happen multiple times. But every time I've seen aircraft do this; they turn left taxiway right; and then promptly turn right to join taxiway a. I was trained very well to watch out for this specific situation. And had it not been a slower traffic volume situation I feel there's a very good chance this would not have been caught in the time it was. Controllers and supervisors have wanted to see better markings at this specific location for as long as I have been here.
