We can confirm that our-longest serving player Eric ‘Ero’ Odhiambo has retired from professional football and will now join the club’s management team.
Ero has been with Wazito FC since December 2012 and played a key role in the team’s rise from the Provincial League to the Kenyan Premier League.
The midfielder has now called it a day and like David Oswe, he has been redeployed within the club.
“All these years donning the Wazito Football Club colors have been undoubtedly the happiest of my life. I only have feelings of enormous gratitude for this club and for this sport which has given me a lot to date”.
“However, I believe that the time has come to open a new stage in my life and transition into a management role within the club,” he said.
Club CEO Dennis Gicheru thanked Ero for his service to the club and wished him well in his new career phase.
“He has been a great servant of the club. Ero is one of the most disciplined and loyal players that I played and worked with. Many clubs were interested in him over the years but he chose to stick with Wazito, he has always been very committed,” he stated.
” I want to thank him for the many years of service to the club and wish him well as he partakes some new roles behind the scene,”.
Everyone at Wazito FC wishes Ero a happy retirement.
