After close to a month of reflecting, weighing options and having conversations with his agent after a busy end to last season, Tusker FC winger Michael Oduor has finally come up with a decision, and one that will see him reunite with his parent club for a couple more seasons.Mozzart Sport can confirm that Oduor is nailed on to sign a two-year contract extension with the Brewers that will take him up to July 2025.##NAJAVA_MECA_7377835##With it being a longer contract than previously expected, it is understood that the new terms will include a player’s release clause that takes effect after the conclusion of the 2023-24 FKF Premier League season.Talks between the player and the Tusker administration in the past weeks were deemed ‘successful’ and after a period to ponder over serious interests from other clubs, Oduor decided that the better option was a return to the team that picked him up over the January mid-season window.Mozzart Sport earlier this month reported on three Zambian Super League which were interested in acquiring the services of the former KCB player.On demand: Tusker’s Oduor attracting huge interest from three Zambian clubsThe three clubs, whose offers are said to have dipped below Oduor’s price, include: Napsa Stars, Red Arrows and Forest Rangers.In the end, Tusker’s improved talks won, and following a rather decent spell last year, Oduor will get a chance under Robert Matano, to secure the elusive FKF Premier League title and FKF Cup.Tusker last season missed out on winning the league after finishing second to winners Gor Mahia by only one point, before succumbing to Kakamega Homeboyz in the Mozzart Bet Cup final in their last game of the season.Oduor earned his debut in the Mozzart Bet Cup win over Rainbow FC in April, leading up to him nicking his first goal at Ruaraka against his former side KCB in a 1-0 win on 26 April 2023.From rejection to redemption – Chipu youngster James Olela beats the odds to make U20 Trophy squadThen, Tusker head coach Robert Matano heaped lots of praise on Oduor saying: “He is a very good player and that was one of the reasons we brought him in and accepted his qualities. Everyone here is happy for him because he always works hard for the team and gives everything. From start to finish today, I loved his game.”The team resumed pre-season training on Monday and had their medicals on Tuesday.
