Bury loan

On 24 September 2010, Ajose joined his home-town club, Bury, on a one-month loan deal,[3] he made his debut the following day as an 80th-minute substitute in a 2–0 away win over Cheltenham Town.[4] His first goal for Bury came on his fifth appearance, a 3–0 home win over Accrington Stanley on 9 October.[5] Seven days later he netted in a 4–3 away victory over Torquay United.[6] His loan was later extended until 3 January 2011.[7] Ajose then scored goals in a 3–1 away wins over Aldershot Town on 30 October,[8] and Burton Albion on 19 November.[9] Ajose netted twice in a 5–0 away win over Lincoln City on 23 November.[10] On 5 January 2011, Bury announced that they had agreed at a meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson that Ajose would remain at Bury on loan until 30 June 2011.[11] He returned to Manchester United for treatment in February after damaging his knee.[12] Five weeks later he rejoined Bury to commence the rest of his loan spell.[13] Ajose scored his first goal of 2011 in a 4–2 away victory over Macclesfield Town on 1 February.[14] He scored twice in a 3–0 victory over Oxford United on 2 April,[15] before netting another brace in a 4–2 away win over Northampton Town the following week.[16]

Peterborough United

After failing to make it into the Manchester United first-team, Ajose joined Peterborough United – managed by Darren Ferguson, son of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson – on 5 July 2011. Peterborough paid an undisclosed fee for the striker, who signed a four-year contract with the club.[17]
