The forward ends his two-season spell with the Minstermen to join the side sitting second in the Irish Premier Division.
Akinyemi joined York in the summer of 2023 and played a vital part in the club’s survival that season, scoring 15 goals in 40 league matches, earning him the club’s golden boot award for the 2023/24 season.
He scored his last goal in City’s final home league match of the 24/25 season when he grabbed one in added time against Solihull Moors.
In total, the 28-year-old featured over 70 times for the Minstermen, bagging 19 goals in the league and FA Cup as well as registering 16 assists.
The move is subject to FA and league approval as well as international clearance.
Akinyemi said via his Instagram: “I just want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone at York City FC — the staff, my teammates, and of course, the fans — for the memories, support, and everything we’ve shared during my time here.
“It’s been an honour to wear the badge and be part of a club with such history and passion. From the highs to the challenges, I’ve grown a lot both on and off the pitch, and I’ll always be grateful for the journey we had together.
“Wishing the club nothing but success for the future. I’ll be watching and cheering you on from afar.
“Thank you, York.”
