Kenya Sevens head coach Kevin Wambua believes that Patrick Odongo has a very bright future ahead of him after continuing to set the world alight in sevens rugby this season.
Odongo has grown into a really important player for the side over the last couple of months since making his debut in Harare, Zimbabwe in September for the African Olympic qualifiers, before following it up with a brilliant Safari Sevens tournament in November and now the Dubai Challenger Series.
The 20-year-old scored 11 tries at that tournament with his pace in particular being a thorn in the flesh of very many teams.
