Richard Odada

Richard Odada of Dundee United was born in Nairobi, Kenya on 25 November 2000 (age 24).

Richard Odada, born in Kenya on the 25th of November, 2000, stands as a prominent figure in the football realm at the mature age of 24. Possessing an impressive stature of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 12st 12lb (82kg), Odada executes his role as a central defensive midfielder for Dundee United flawlessly.

Adorned with the number 12 jersey, Odada demonstrates skill and technical abilities on the pitch. His prowess in the game is attested to by his current market value, estimated to be £254,000 according to Transfermarkt. His contract with Dundee United is reported to run until the 30th of June, 2026, granting him an additional one year and three months with the team.

Odada's career has seen him take on various challenges. His journey began in earnest in January 2019 when he joined Red Star in the SuperLiga, Serbia. A pivotal year in Odada's football adventure came in July 2021, with a loan move from Red Star to Metalac Gornji Milanovac, also in Serbia's First League. This was followed by a relocation to the United States, where Odada joined Philadelphia Union in the MLS in September 2022.

Odada’s time in Philadelphia was short-lived, as he was soon loaned out to Aalborg BK in Denmark's Superliga in August 2023. His debut season there proved fruitful, with a solid record of 21 first team appearances and a noteworthy four goals in league matches.

The final step, as of July 2024, saw Odada making another big move, this time across the Atlantic to Dundee United in Scotland's Premiership. Here, he continues to compete at a high level. Despite it only being his inaugural season, Odada has already made 13 first team league appearances, further solidifying his reputation as a robust midfielder destined for a bright football future.
