Peter Kioso

Luton Town On 22 January 2020, Kioso joined Championship club Luton Town for an undisclosed fee. Luton manager Graeme Jones said Kioso was "one for the future", and in March 2020 said he had been "impressed" by Kioso in training, and would consider giving him his debut. He made his Football League debut for Luton on 18 July 2020. He made his debut two days later in a 2–1 home defeat against Oldham Athletic.

On 25 January 2021, Kioso joined League One side Northampton Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season. 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.

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

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

On 18 July 2023, Kioso signed for League One club Peterborough United on a season-long loan deal. 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. Having continued to impress, he was recalled by Rotherham on 2 January 2024.

Oxford United Kioso joined Oxford United for an undisclosed fee on 24 June 2024.

On 22 August 2025, Kioso returned to Peterborough United on loan until the end of the season.

International career On 4 October 2024, Kioso received his first international call-up for the DR Congo for two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania. He made his debut on 19 November 2024 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia at the Stade des Martyrs. He started the game and was substituted at half-time, as Ethiopia won 2–1.

Personal life Kioso's parents are from DR Congo. His cousin Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu is also a footballer; the two played together at Luton Town.
