Peter Kioso (born 15 August 1999) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a wing-back for EFL Championship club Oxford United.

Early life

[edit]

Kioso was born in Swords, Dublin.[1][2] He and his family later moved to Milton Keynes, England in 2010.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Kioso joined the academy of Milton Keynes Dons at the age of 14 and progressed to the club's under-18 side before being released in 2017.[3] He had a brief spell with non-League Dunstable Town[4] before joining National League club Hartlepool United[3][2][5] where he remained for two seasons, making 70 appearances and scoring 4 goals.[3] Kioso was named in Hartlepool's team of the decade for the 2010s.[6]

Luton Town

[edit]

On 22 January 2020, Kioso joined Championship club Luton Town for an undisclosed fee.[7] Luton manager Graeme Jones said Kioso was "one for the future",[8] and in March 2020 said he had been "impressed" by Kioso in training, and would consider giving him his debut.[9] He made his Football League debut for Luton on 18 July 2020.[10]

On 15 October 2020 he moved on loan to League Two club Bolton Wanderers.[11] He made his debut two days later in a 2–1 home defeat against Oldham Athletic.[12] Two days after that he scored Bolton's first goal in a 3–3 draw against Barrow.[12] On 11 January 2021 Luton recalled Kioso from his loan after an injury to James Bree.[13][14][15]

On 25 January 2021, Kioso joined League One side Northampton Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[16] Kioso had already played for Luton and Bolton in the 2020–21 season, usually meaning he would not be able to sign for a third team as players can only play for two teams in one season – however FIFA changed the rules for that season to allow players to play for three teams, to alleviate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on football.[17]

He returned to his academy club Milton Keynes Dons on loan on 31 August 2021.[18][19] Kioso scored his first goal since his return to the club on 18 September 2021 in a 4–1 away win over Gillingham.[20] On 18 January 2022, Kioso was recalled to Luton from his loan.[21]

Rotherham United

[edit]

On 23 June 2022, it was announced that Kioso had signed for Championship club Rotherham United on a permanent basis.[22][23]

On 18 July 2023, Kioso signed for League One club Peterborough United on a season-long loan deal.[24][25] In September 2023, he was named club captain by manager Darren Ferguson, scoring his first goal for the club in his first match with the armband.[26] Having continued to impress, he was recalled by Rotherham on 2 January 2024.[27]

Oxford United

[edit]

Kioso joined Oxford United for an undisclosed fee on 24 June 2024.[28][29]

International career

[edit]

On 4 October 2024, Kioso received his first international call-up for the DR Congo for two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania.[30]

Personal life

[edit]

Kioso's parents are from DR Congo.[1] His brother Gedeon is also a footballer; the two played together at Dunstable Town, with Peter at right back and his brother at left back.[4][31] His cousin Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu is also a footballer; the two played together at Luton Town.[32]
