Kotoko Planning Send-off Match For Stephen Oduro

Asante Kotoko are looking to organize a friendly match in honour of midfielder Stephen Oduro. The 29-year-old�s contract with the champions expired last month. Oduro spent a cumulative twelve years with the Porcupine Warriors during which period he has endeared himself to the club�s supporters. Majority of the club�s fans were agitating for a new contract be offered the ex Real Tamale United player. But the team�s inability to assure the veteran play maker regular first team action meant his services would largely be redundant at Kotoko. There were talks of a planned fully-paid coaching course for Oduro but the club has decided to organize a testimonial match in his honour instead. �Stephen (Oduro) has been talked to and an understanding has been reached to a promise of a testimonial match for him,� Kotoko�s Administrative Manager Ben Nti told Angel FM. �His contract ended on October 1st and we are looking for the opportune time to organize a befitting send off for him. �We don�t want to do things haphazardly, we want him to get the right treatment and that is what we are looking to do.�
