Clarke Oduor is set to be axed by Barnsley after relegation to League One

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Kenyan international Clarke Oduor’s career is set to take a bad twist as Barnsley look to axe some of their players to keep themselves afloat financially.

Oduor joined Barnsley from Leeds United back in 2019 when the club was enjoying a fairly decent time in the English Championship.

In recent months, however, The Tykes have endured a torrid dip in form that saw them finish last in the English second tier for the 2021/22 season, inevitably dropping to League One.
