Born on 24th May 1997, Jonah Ayunga is a forward, currently based in Scotland with St Mirren, who primarily plies his trade as a right winger. Hailing from England, his physique stands at an impressive 1.85m (6ft) and weighs 78kg (12st 3lb). Ayunga, donning the number 7 jersey, boasts an intriguing career path, having started in the lower divisions before making his mark on Scotland's top-flight football.
Beginning his career in 2017, Ayunga found himself on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, donning the colours of Sligo Rovers of the Premier Division in Ireland. His debut season saw the Englishman make 21 first team appearances while managing to pot four goals to his name.
Ayunga's travels were not done, as he soon saw a transfer to Galway United in the Premier Division on loan, once again from Brighton in July 2017. His time was limited in comparison, managing only two first team appearances for Galway in league matches.
His path then took him back to England, first for Sutton United in the National League in 2018, and later to Havant & Waterlooville in the National League South in a transfer of undisclosed fee. Notably, his stint in Havant & Waterlooville was interspersed with a temporary return to Sutton United, before yet another undisclosed fee saw him settling at Bristol Rovers in League One in July 2020.
By 2021, Ayunga found another move on the cards, transferring from Bristol Rovers to Morecambe in League Two for an undisclosed fee. However, Scotland beckoned in 2022, as he made the move to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.
Ayunga's performances at St Mirren were steady, notable goal contributions coming in every season. He made 19 first team appearances and scored three goals in league matches during the 2022 - 2023 season. The next season saw 17 first team appearances and two goals, with the current season 2024 - 2025 seeing Ayunga already notch 19 first team appearances with a solitary goal to his name.
Not one to shy away from cup competitions, Ayunga also featured in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for St Mirren with one appearance coming off the bench. He also put his shirt on the line in the Conference League Qualifiers 2024 - 2025 for St Mirren, accumulating three starts and a substitute appearance to his record in the process.
