Harambee Stars-eligible midfielder Clive Oduor has been awarded an academy scholarship by English Championship side ,Wolverhampton Wanderers, underlining the club's belief in his potential as he continues his journey towards professional football.
The 17-year-old, who was born in the United Kingdom to Kenyan parents, remains eligible to represent Kenya at international level.
Oduor joined the Wolves academy in 2024 and featured for the club's Under-18 side during the 2025-2026 season.
His development has now been rewarded with an academy scholarship for the 2026 intake, a significant milestone that keeps him on the pathway towards the club's senior team.
He is also the younger brother of Harambee Stars defender Clarke Oduor, who has represented Kenya at senior international level.
The scholarship comes at a time when Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy has intensified efforts to identify and recruit players of Kenyan heritage based in Europe as part of his plans to strengthen the national team.
With his rapid progress at Wolves and Kenyan eligibility, Oduor is among the young prospects who could be monitored for future national team call-ups if his development continues on its current trajectory.
Wolves announced Oduor among their 2026 academy scholars alongside: Dawood Asif, Leon Huxley, Ricky Jackson, Saviour Nkume, Josiah Djokoto, Shafaat Njuki, Caeden Pugh, Desmond Ekhosuehi, Jerome Abbey, Tyler Coulsen, Max Hinks, Junior Mathai, Abdul Seidu and Aaron Aneke.
An attacking midfielder, Oduor is highly regarded for his technical quality and creativity.
He is known for his excellent ball control, close dribbling and composure in possession, using his low centre of gravity and exceptional balance to evade defenders in tight spaces.
He also possesses impressive vision and is naturally suited to a playmaking role, linking midfield and attack while creating opportunities for teammates.
The academy scholarship marks another important milestone in Oduor's career as he edges closer to professional football and potentially puts himself on the radar for a future Harambee Stars opportunity.
