Born in Glasgow, Oduoza grew up in Exeter where he joined his local club side Exeter Saracens. He was spotted by Worcester's Academy Manager whilst representing England at Under 18 level. Oduoza later joined the Worcester Warriors Academy side and was a regular in the A league. He made his senior side debut in the
European Cup against Italian side
Rugby Rovigo whilst he was still at school in Wolverhampton and his league debut against local rivals
Gloucester. He also spent time on loan at
Birmingham and Solihull R.F.C. Oduoza has represented his country at U18, U19, U21 levels and for the Sevens side. He scored a fantastic 98m try for England in the
2008 San Diego Sevens. While competing for the England Sevens, Oduoza announced that he would be leaving Worcester for Japanese side
Suntory Sungoliath after the 2007–08 season. It was also announced that he had rejected a new two-year deal at Worcester. He then returned to the
Guinness Premiership for the 2009–10 season with
Newcastle Falcons. Oduoza will be combining his rugby career with studying medicine at the
Hull York Medical School. At the end of the 2009–10 season due to his university commitments Oduoza had made only one appearance for the Falcons first team, starting in an
LV Cup match against Worcester. In May 2010 he was named as an unattached player as part of the
England Sevens squad at the
Scotland Sevens in Edinburgh. In early March 2011 Uduoza returned to train with England Sevens after recovering from a knee reconstruction. In early April he featured on the bench for the
Leeds Carnegie "A" team against
Northampton Saints Wanderers and made his first team debut for the club also against
Northampton Saints in the Premiership. In June 2011 he was recalled to the England Sevens squad for the Moscow leg of the European Sevens Grand Prix. ==References==
