Club career

Born in Lekeitio, Biscay, Basque Country, Odei joined Athletic Bilbao's Lezama in 2007, from hometown side Lekeitio FT. He made his senior debut in the 2008–09 campaign, while on loan at Tercera División side CD Elgoibar; upon returning, he was assigned to Athletic's farm team in the same category.[1]

Odei first arrived in Segunda División B in July 2011, joining SD Amorebieta.[2] He continued to appear in the division in the following years, representing Barakaldo CF,[3] Burgos CF (two stints),[4][5] Marbella FC[6] (where he only spent 20 days with the squad before being released),[7] Bilbao Athletic,[8] UD Melilla[9] and CD Mirandés;[10] with the latter, he achieved promotion to Segunda División in 2019.[citation needed]

On 9 July 2019, Odei renewed his contract with the Rojillos for a further season.[11] He made his professional debut at the age of 29 on 8 September, starting in a 2–1 home win against Real Oviedo.[12]

Odei scored his first professional goal on 15 January 2020, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 3–3 draw at Cádiz CF. On 19 September, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a one-year deal with Indian Super League club Hyderabad FC.[13]

On 7 July 2021, Odei rejoined his former club Mirandés on a one-year contract.[14]

In July 2022, Odei returned to India and defending Indian Super League champions Hyderabad, on a one-year deal.[15]
