[edit] Career
[edit] Leicester City
Odhiambo made his senior debut in a 3–2 League Cup defeat against Aston Villa on 24 October 2006.[1] On 5 May 2007 he signed his first professional contract with Leicester along with seven other players, including Andy King, Max Gradel and Carl Pentney.[2]
He joined Southend United on a one month loan on 31 August.[3] His loan deal was extended by a month on 27 September,[4] but he returned to Leicester on 29 October without scoring any goals.[5]
Odhiambo joined Scottish Premier League club Dundee United on loan in the January transfer window until the end of the season, under former Leicester manager Craig Levein.[6] He made his debut as a last-minute substitute in United's 4–1 win against Hearts on 2 January.[7]
On 27 November 2008 having failed to feature for Leicester up to this point, he joined Brentford on an initial one-month loan deal.[8]
Having returned from an unsuccessful loan spell at Brentford, Odhiambo had his Leicester contract terminated by mutual consent on January 30, 2009, having never played a league game for the club.[9] On the same day, Odhiambo joined Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle until the end of the season,[10] making his debut as a second half substitute against Celtic.[11]
