Belgian side Club Brugge have confirmed the return of veteran defender Denis Odoi, who signed a one-year contract with Club NXT U23 that includes a strategic club option for an additional season.
At age 38, the highly decorated Ghana international brings massive top-tier experience back to the organization.
This high-profile acquisition is specifically designed to implant vital leadership directly into the developmental squad as they navigate their upcoming campaign in the Challenger Pro League.
By taking on this specialized dual role of active player and locker room mentor, Odoi will immediately help guide, stabilize, and accelerate the growth of the club's youngest talent pool.
This signing marks a homecoming for Odoi, who enjoyed an incredibly successful initial spell with the senior Blauw-Zwart squad between 2022 and 2024.
During his previous time in Bruges, the versatile defender established himself as a reliable mainstay, racking up 93 total appearances and scoring four crucial goals.
Odoi, who has featured once at the World Cup and made 14 appearances for Ghana, spent last season at relegated Dutch Eredivisie side NAC Breda.
