After just three months with Hartlepool United, Kenyan international Clarke Oduor has been rumored to be on his way out with the club considering cutting short his loan spell.The 23-year-old was shipped out on loan back in September by English Football League (EFL) League One side, Barnsley on what was to be a season long loan, but Hartlepool are said to be rethinking the decision.Homeboyz coach points at what his team must improve onOduor looks to have fallen out of favor with Hartlepool head coach Keith Curle as he last started a league game back in late October, clocking 90 minutes against Grimsby Town.The former Leeds United winger has been deployed in the more defensive left back role which has not brought the best out of him with the club looking to free up spaces for more loan options.##NAJAVA_MECA_6906281##”The Barnsley loanee has made 14 appearances since moving to the Suit Direct Stadium on transfer deadline day, but has not started in the league since the 2-1 win over Grimsby Town, and could be another player Curle will need to make a decision over. While Oduor possesses ability, the 23-year-old has yet to really feature in a more natural position having been required to cover on the left side of defence a number of times.Ouma explains Sofapaka’s poor start to seasonThe issue may be, like with Sunderland loanee Taylor, highlighting where Oduor is best utilised and whether he would fit into Curle’s system over the second half of the campaign. If not, then the possibility of freeing up another loan spot may be an option,” read an article from the Hartlepool Mail.According to EFL rules, a team can have a maximum of eight loan signs in and an equal number of players out per season.
