Funso-King Ayorinde Ojo (born 28 August 1991) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town, on loan from EFL League Two club Port Vale.
A Belgium under-21 international, Ojo began his career with Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, making his debut in the Eredivisie in May 2009. He played on loan at VVV-Venlo during the 2010–11 campaign but was allowed to leave PSV and returned to Belgium to play for Beerschot in June 2012. He joined his hometown club Royal Antwerp in August 2013 and signed with Dutch Eerste Divisie side FC Dordrecht in February 2014. He helped Dordrecht to win promotion out of the play-offs at the end of the 2013–14 season. Though the club were relegated the following season, Ojo remained in the Eredivisie after signing with Willem II in June 2015. He spent two seasons with the club, making 60 top-flight appearances, before he moved to England to play for Scunthorpe United in July 2017. He was sold to Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen for a fee of around £125,000 in July 2019. He spent three seasons with Aberdeen, though he spent the second half of the 2020–21 season on loan at Wigan Athletic. He returned to England permanently after joining Port Vale on a free transfer in June 2022. He was loaned out to Shrewsbury Town for the 2024–25 season.
