Crown Legacy FC has announced the signing goalkeeper Chituru Odunze from Leicester City FC. The 6ft 7in goalkeeper was born in Raleigh, North Carolina. Odunze and his family moved to England when he was one-years-old which is where he was introduced to soccer.

He moved back across the pond to Canada when he was 11 and spent some time with the Vancouver Whitecaps development program before signing with Leicester City.

Now at 20 years old, the former US U-20 international has made 29 appearances for the Leicester City U-21s over the last three seasons.

Odunze will come into Crown Legacy FC looking to compete with Isaac Walker (13 starts) for the starting job.
