Odhiambo Friday told Nation Sport that he has signed a two-year deal with the team that will see him play an active role in the development of young players across the different youth sides within the BC Tigers FC set up.

"The senior team plays in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) but we also have several youth teams and I am very excited to be appointed as the head lead in player development," Odhiambo said.

"I think it is a great opportunity for me to grow as a coach while nurturing young talents. I want to coach at the highest level and help develop future superstars," he added.
