Odongo can become a global star, says Injera

Kenya Rugby legend Collins Injera has backed rugby sensation Patrick Odongo to keep shining in the World Sevens Series, after an impressive start this season.

Odongo played a key part as Shujaa finished 10th and 8th respectively in Dubai and Cape Town legs, and Injera says he was impressed by his performance.

While Injera appreciates it takes a lot of commitment and discipline to rise and sty at the top, he acknowledged Odongo can.

“He is a very talented player terms of speed conversion I find him an all round player who if he continues to put in the hard work that is needed then he has a great future ahead of him and the team," said  Injera.

Shujaa were making their return in the series after being relegated last season and Injera says the Kevin Wambua-led project is heading in the right direction.

“The really put in a good show on their return in the two legs that they have played I was impressed by the team spirit and the hard work that I saw it was good start for their return,”added Injera

The series will resume next month in Australia during the Perth Sevens between the 24th and 26th, where Injera expects a better show.

“They have had taste of what to expect in the next leg so expect to see more great performances and results," stated the rugby legend.
