The creative midfielder broke into the limelight in the second half of the abandoned 2019/20 domestic season when Whyvonne Isuza ditched the club for Wazito FC. Odhiambo went on to play a major role as Ingwe finished sixth in the league.
Gor Mahia wanted to snap him up but Leopards stood firm owing to his talent. He was in the Harambee Stars provisional squad for the Comoros double-header in the Afcon qualifiers. Ingwe are building a team around him.

The goalkeeper was influential in the second leg 3-1 win over APR and commanded his area well. The former Western Stima goalkeeper is agile and ready to prove his doubters wrong.
Despite Boniface Onyango s availability, Mathews is expected to start, owing to his hunger for success. He will have to be keen to ensure every player is in a position to avoid being raided over and over again. Goal Kenya. Charles Momanyi
He is one of the most experienced players in the Gor Mahia squad and is expected to provide leadership at the back. He is good at aerial balls and is a good game-reader as well.
For us players, the morale is high and as players, we are going to give it all to get a positive outcome. It is important for us to ensure we get a good result to stand a better chance of making it to the next stage.
The Rising Star has had good outings for the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League giants but has not yet opened his account. However, he hopes his first goal can come away in Algeria. The first thing for me is to ensure the team has performed well, the former Western Stima player continued. What matters is for the team to get a positive outcome. I believe it will happen today and we will come home with good results. Hopefully, I am going to score my first goal for this big club Gor Mahia.
