Peter Ambrose (born 10 June 2002) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen.
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.
In 2022, Ambrose signed for Hungarian side Újpest. He was regarded as one of the club's most important players. [2] On 12 November 2022, he scored his first goal for the club during a 1–3 loss to Paks. [3] 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. [4] He signed a three-year deal with The Dons, for an undisclosed fee, with the option of an additional year. [5]
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 although I had never heard of Aberdeen it is still a big step for me." [6]
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. [7]
Ambrose mainly operates as a striker on the subs bench. [8]
