Jonah Ayunga, born on 24 May 1997 which makes him 27 years old now, is an English-born forward who currently plays for St Mirren, primarily taking the right winger position. Impressively, Ayunga stands tall at 6ft (1.85m) and tips the scales at 12st 3lb (78kg). Emblazoned with the number 7 on his jersey, he carries a commanding presence on the pitch.
Ayunga's transfer story begins in January 2017 when he was loaned from Brighton & Hove Albion, a Premier League Club in England, to Sligo Rovers, situated in the Premier Division of Rep. Ireland. In his debut season, Ayunga made an impact with 21 team appearances and four goals in league matches. The same year in July, he was again transferred from Brighton & Hove Albion to Galway United, another Premier Division Club in Rep. Ireland. However, his stint at Galway United was short-lived, with only two league matches to his name.
Changing shores in July 2018, Ayunga transferred from Brighton & Hove Albion to Sutton United in England's National League. However, the later parts of the year saw him transferred to and fro between Sutton United and Havant & Waterlooville in the National League South, for undisclosed fees. Eventually, in July 2019, he settled with Havant & Waterlooville. But this sense of permanence was short-lived as the following year he transferred to Bristol Rovers in England's League One, again for an undisclosed fee.
From Bristol Rovers, Ayunga moved to Morecambe in League Two in July 2021, and then onto St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership in July 2022. His tenure at St Mirren has seen him make multiple appearances with a decent number of goals to his credit. For instance, in the 2022-2023 season, he made 19 appearances and scored three goals, while the next season saw him making 17 appearances scoring two goals. Currently, in the 2024-2025 season, he has made five appearances so far.
Besides his league matches, Ayunga has marked his presence in the League Cup 2024-2025 for St Mirren with one appearance as a substitute, as well as in the Scottish Cup 2023-2024 for St Mirren with one start and one appearance as a substitute. He also participated in Conference League Qualifiers 2024-2025 for St Mirren, where he managed three starts and one appearance as a substitute.
