Harambee Stars midfielder Richard Odada’s three goals for Aalborg are among 17 strikes which have been nominated for the club’s goal of the month of September.

Odada was in great form for Aalborg last month, netting key goals that earned his side crucial points.

His opening goal, his debut strike for the club, as they beat Kolding 3-1 on September 3, and his stunning striker as Aalborg came from behind to draw 1-1 with Sonderjyke on September 15 have been nominated.

Odada’s goal in last Friday’s 3-1 away win to Vendesyssel FF, which put his side 2-1 ahead, is also among those up for voting.

Aalborg scored 17 goals in both league and cup games as they won four, drew one and lost another in September to maintain their place at the top of the Danish second division standings with 27 points from 11 games, three more than Sonderjyke.

The four-time Danish champions are looking to bounce back to the top flight at the first time of asking following their relegation last season.

Odada has quickly become a key figure in the squad since moving on loan from MSL side Philadelphia Union in August.

After starting on the bench in his first two games, the Kenyan international is now among the first names on the team sheet and he has rewarded his coach with impressive displays.

Besides adding bite and dynamism to Aalborg’s midfield, he has also chipped in with goals something the club will be hoping to see again in October.

Odada left Philadelphia after getting frustrated with lack of playing time and with his loan deal including an option to buy, he could make the move permanent next season if he maintains the fine form.

Aalborg fans have up to Thursday to vote for their favourite goal after which the winner will be announced.
