Peter Ambrose (born 10 June 2002) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen FC.[1]

Club Career

[edit]

Ambrose commenced his football career in his native Nigeria with Optimum Academy in Abuja, before signing for Balıkesirspor's youth side in 2021. He made his professional debut against Samsunspor in January 2022.

He then moved to the Hungarian capital to sign for 20-times NB I winners Újpest. He finished last season as the team's top goalscorer with 10 goals in 27 starts.

Ambrose signed for Aberdeen FC in June 2024 and became Jimmy Thelin's second summer signing.[2] He signed a three-year deal with The Dons, for an undisclosed fee, with the option of an additional year [3]

Commenting on his transfer, Ambrose - who attracted interest from other clubs in the UK and Europe - said: "When I was told of the interest from Aberdeen I was so grateful. Growing up as a kid I knew about the Scottish League and Aberdeen so I feel it is a big step for me."[2] [4]

He scored his first goal for the club after coming on as a substitute in a 6-0 Scottish League Cup victory over Dumbarton FC.[5]
