Former Kariobangi Sharks midfielder Reagan Odede is eager to turn professional in the near future having cut ties with the 2018 Cup winners.Odede was among the scores of players who left Sharks in the past month or so opening the door for him to either join a rival side or pursue a move to foreign leagues.Having watched a handful of his peers secure deals in Sweden, the budding midfielder reckons that lady luck will visit him soon.##NAJAVA_MECA_6625119##Odede said the moves made by former Gor Mahia centre back Frank Odhiambo and former Nairobi City Stars attacking midfielder Timothy Ouma renewed his resolve to turn professional soon.Frank joined Djurgardens in January while Ouma was acquired by Elfsborg last month just after spending two seasons in the Kenyan top flight.”It is the dream of every local player to play abroad and that’s exactly what I have and will continue chasing. My hunt for professional football has been inspired by the young players who have moved to Sweden this year. If they made it, I believe I will also succeed in my quest in the near future,” he said.Faith Kipyegon hunts third Diamond league trophy as Cheruiyot, Korir brace for title defenseOdede, a product of the Westlands based Diamond Academy further revealed that his push for a move abroad was informed by the fact that Kenyan football finds itself struggling to regain its past glory.”The situation at home doesn’t look promising if how the past campaign was managed is anything to go by. The environment is one that does not allow talent to thrive and thus, the need to move abroad,” he said.After losing skipper Patillah Omotto, Brian Wanyama and Brian Olango, Kariobangi Sharks have lost defender Bonface Onyango, who has left the club, and are set to lose other dependable players in Brandon Obiero, Samuel Olwande, Reagan Odede and Tom Teka on their way out. pic.twitter.com/lmFU8O9YRg— Rodgers Odhiambo (@rodgers_otienoo) July 10, 2022 Odede joined Sharks two years ago from Ligi Ndogo and was part of the national U20, Rising Stars team that represented the country in the CECAFA tournament held in Arusha.He also featured for the national U23 team that played in the regional tournament held last year in Ethiopia.
