Standing 6 feet tall, equivalent to 1.85m, with a weight of 12st 3lb or 78kg, he presents a formidable physical presence on the field. He dons the number 11 jersey for his team.
His career in football has seen him play for a number of clubs across England and the Republic of Ireland. Starting off from Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, he was loaned out to Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division in January 2017. His debut season with Sligo Rovers saw him contribute four goals in 21 first team appearances.
Later that year, in July, he donned the Galway United jersey, also in the Premier Division of Ireland, following another loan move from Brighton & Hove Albion. His time at Galway United, however, was brief and he accounted for only two first team league appearances.
In July 2018, Ayunga moved on to Sutton United in the National League in England leaving Brighton & Hove Albion. A series of moves ensued in the November of 2018 as he transferred from Sutton United to Havant & Waterlooville, and then back to Sutton United again, both times for undisclosed fees.
July 2019 saw Ayunga transfer once more to Havant & Waterlooville, followed by a move to Bristol Rovers in the League Two in England in July 2020, again for an undisclosed fee. After a year, in July 2021, he moved from Bristol Rovers to Morecambe in the National League, once again for an undisclosed fee.
His career path then led him to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership in July 2022. During the 2022-2023 season, Ayunga made 19 first team appearances, finding the net three times. The subsequent 2023-2024 season saw him make 17 appearances and scoring twice. More success followed in the 2024-2025 season, with four goals in 28 appearances.
