Jonah Ayunga, born on 24 May 1997 (age 29), is a Kenyan winger whose senior career has settled most firmly at St Mirren. He operates mainly from the right and wears number 11, with his game built around direct running rather than much ceremony.
One useful early step came at Sligo Rovers in 2017, where he scored four league goals in 21 appearances. It remains his most productive league season, modest enough on paper, but important in giving him regular senior football at a stage when minutes mattered.
St Mirren have become the substantial part of his career. Across four seasons he has made 87 league appearances and scored 12 league goals, a body of work that says more than any short purple patch. He has not been a headline act every week, but he has been involved often enough to become a familiar part of their Premiership side.
In 2025-26 he remains in the picture rather than on the fringes. He has made 23 league appearances with three goals, alongside eight League Cup appearances and two goals, plus one Scottish Cup outing. Across all competitions for St Mirren that season, he has 32 appearances and five goals.
Ayunga’s career is centred on St Mirren: a Kenyan right winger with early senior grounding at Sligo Rovers, now still contributing regularly in Paisley.
