Jonah Ayunga, born on 24 May 1997 (age 29), is a Kenyan winger whose senior career has settled most firmly at St Mirren. Primarily used from the right, he has become one of those players whose value is measured less by noise than by repeated selection.
An early loan spell at Sligo Rovers in 2017 gave him useful senior mileage, and it remains his most productive league season, with four goals in 21 appearances. That period sits as the clear staging post before his longer Scottish chapter, rather than the main story.
St Mirren is where Ayunga’s career has taken proper shape. Across five league seasons with the Paisley club, he has made 87 league appearances and scored 12 league goals. In 2025–26, wearing number 11, he has remained a regular first-team presence, with 23 league appearances and three league goals, plus one Scottish Cup appearance.
Ayunga’s career is therefore a straightforward one to read: early development through loans, a productive spell in Ireland, and a long, continuing role at St Mirren. He is not a headline act, but he remains a relevant part of their current side.
