[edit]Ayorinde was born in Lagos on 20 October 1974,[1] and played club football for NEPA Lagos, Stade Tunisien and Sturm Graz,[2] before joining Leyton Orient in September 1995 though a lengthy wait for a work permit meant he did not make his league debut against Cambridge United until May 1996.[3] He made 16 league and cup appearances for Orient, scoring two goals, but could not hold down a place in the first team and, after a succession of loan moves, transferred to Football Conference side Dover Athletic in December 1997.[3] He later played for Bangor City, Hapoel Beit She'an, Assyriska, Stalybridge Celtic, AIK, Shenyang Ginde, Syrianska, Da Nang, Persija Jakarta, Gröndals IK and Djurgårdsbrunns FC.[2]
