23 year old winger/wing-back. Played for Leeds, Barnsley and recently of relegated Hartlepool United. Played once for Kenya. Three year deal.

Seems a very Bradford City signing... point to prove, young prospect etc etc in other words a gamble
At least he plugs a gap in the squad ie an attacking wing back... so not as totally random as our usual scattergun approach.
We've sorely missed this sort of player since Greg Leigh, so he could be a reasonable option from the bench

Barnsley fan mate says -
He started off well with us, but recently just can’t get into first team. Don’t think he even got on the bench hardly this season. From what I saw of him he at least put way more effort in than Devante Cole originally did! But can’t complain too much about Devante, as he’s our top scorer these days

Jury's out like it should be for everyone who cannot judge him after not seeing him. But not being able to get in a team that got relegated to non league is a bit worrying. Seems like a piñata approach again, let's see if we get sweets out of it or we smash grandma's head in for getting in the way

One goal and three assists from 14 outings isn't disastrous, and is certainly better than Costalloe and Nevers. From what I gather on twitter, the Barnsley fans seem to think there's a player there but he needs to be played in his correct position and get his head down. Hopefully it'll work out.
Only worry is a 3 year deal. Thought we might have learnt from Oliver and Young.

Oduor? Smells like desperation.
Big. Fat. Meh.

Going miss on the basis that when it was announced I asked my Barnsley supporting mate if he was any good and his response was....
"Who?"

Apparently he can “operate as a winger, wing-back or full-back” and is a “versatile player”.
I’m switching my meh to Ronnie Fucking Brown.

I've gomped it up and gone hit. Saw him at Barnsley and he looked pretty good. Seemed quick, well coordinated and wasn't bullied on the ball. Could be that missing link from the wing to the forwards we've not had for a while.
He's also not 32 years old, played for 15 clubs and a good family man with a point to prove.

Just give the lad a chance. Honestly, he hasn't even kicked a ball yet and some of you are writing him off! With fans like ours no wonder players struggle here.
Just kidding.
Shit. Definitely shit.

He's also played for Kenya FFS. Did Scott Banks ever play for Kenya? NO! Give him a chance.

A young lass I used to work with once said “Leon, do they have shops in Africa?”
She was from Tyersal.
