Denis Odoi may soon be joining Belgium side Kortrijk as a free agent after being a free agent for more than half a year.
After leaving Royal Antwerp in January 2025, the Ghanaian defender, 37, has been training with the Belgian club, Kortrijk, for more than a week.
The experienced Black Stars defender is now associated with KV Kortrijk but has not officially signed for them, having been serving as a coach.
Following the end of his contract with Antwerp, primarily because of the distance from his home to the club, Denis Odoi had been clubless for eight months and is set to return
Sporting Director of Kortrijk, Nils Vanneste, revealed that he is careful in his approach towards signing the veteran defender, but will not dismiss the chance of making a signing soon.
Head coach of Kortrijk, Michiel Jonckheere, on the possible signing of Dennis Odoi:
That’s right, and it’s certainly not impossible that he’ll sign, but for now, we’re letting the situation settle down. He reached out to me.
For the moment, it’s simply to maintain his fitness, but things could change. Denis is really fitting in well. He’s coaching the other players, and it’s great to see.
Dennis Odoi has not played for the Black Stars for more than a year, and a return is unlikely because of his age.
The Belgian-born Ghanaian right back has played for Anderlecht, Sin-Truiden, KSC Lokeren, Fulham, Club Brugge and Royal Antwerp since making his senior debut for OH Leuven in the 2006-07 season.
