According to Goal.com, the former Bristol Rovers ace is on the verge of joining St.Mirren after he reportedly reached a deal with the Scottish Premiership club.

The publication claims Ayunga will be moving to St.Mirren once the summer transfer window opens after he agreed a two-year deal with them.

The development comes after the Scottish club's boss, Stephen Robinso, let the cat out of the bag when he revealed his side have already signed four players with an announcement imminent.

"We’ve got four players signed, which we’ll announce over the coming weeks," Robinson told Renfrewshire Live Sport, as quoted by the Scottish Daily Express.
"All four will strengthen the squad and enhance what we’ve already got," he added.

Morecambe puts Jonah Ayunga on sale

Reports suggest St.Mirren made a move for Ayunga after Morecambe resolved to offload him ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

The 24-year-old had a difficult start to life at Morecambe, with an injury leaving him sidelined for at least two months.

However, he hit the ground running afterwards and has already scored six League One goals.

Ayunga came through at Dorchester City before Brighton snapped him up.

Harambee Starlets dumped out of CECAFA

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Harambee Starlets cannot participate in the regional tourney as the country is still under the FIFA suspension imposed earlier this year.

The CECAFA championship will be contested by eight teams from May 22nd at the Njeru Technical Centre in Uganda.

This is the second event that Starlets have been banned from after missing out on the Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifiers.
