Players of African descent have come into the limelight recently because of the Nationality Switch, which gives players the opportunity to play for their country of origin. One defender that Ghanaians are looking up to for a call-up to the national team is the 20-year-old defender Kwaku Oduroh. This has also come as good news to many Ghanaians, as a lot of people want to see Ghanaian players playing regularly.

English League Two side Rochdale AFC have completed the signing of English-born Ghanaian defender Kwaku Oduroh ahead of the 2023–24 season, Ghana Soccer Net can confirm. The 20-year-old fullback joins on a season-long loan from League One outfit Derby County until the end of the 2023–24 campaign.

Upon joining the squad, Oduroh said he was excited about what lay ahead. "I’m delighted, of course," commented Oduroh. "The gaffer showed real interest, and that was promising for me. We spoke a lot throughout the off-season, and there was a clear plan. "Coming on loan, he needs to trust that I can benefit his squad and help the squad develop. For me, as a young player, his trust in me is everything.

"I want to show you what I can do. Despite my best efforts, I haven't had the chance yet in my career for one or two reasons. However, I have an exciting opportunity and a chance to do it. I’m very excited and ready to take off."

Oduroh is a Manchester City Academy product, joining in the Under-9 age group.

During his time with the European champions, he won the Under-18 Premier League and Premier League 2 titles. He left the club last summer and signed for Derby on a two-year deal following a successful trial.

The young defender made six appearances for Derby's First Team last season and was a regular for their Under-21 team as well.
