Kenyan international midfielder Richard Odada is heading to the Philadelphia Union.
The Philadelphia Union confirmed the signing Tuesday of the 21-year-old from Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. The transfer fee was not disclosed but it’s been reported to be $220,000.
“Richard is a holding midfielder with positional versatility and a great potential to be a valuable contributor as we continue to develop our roster,” Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner stated in a news release. “He can play multiple midfield roles as well as centerback, and he has the height, speed, and physicality we were searching for.
