Montreal Impact sign Oduro to new 2-year deal

The Montreal Impact announced Monday the club has signed Dominic Oduro once again, bringing back the attacker on a new two-year deal.

Oduro was set to become a free agent, but returns to the club having spent the last two seasons with the Canadian outfit, and Montreal technical director Adam Braz was quite pleased with the re-acquisition.

"We are happy to have come to an agreement with Dominic on a new two-year contract," Braz said in a club-issued statement. "Dominic has been an important part of our success in the last two years and has fit in nicely with the club and the city.

"His pace and ability to get in behind defenders has led to his important offensive contribution to the team. His experience and team first mentality will continue to be important within our group."

Oduro has made 60 regular-season appearances with the Impact, scoring 14 goals and adding six assists in that time; he also proved instrumental in Montreal's playoff run, scoring against Toronto FC in both legs as his team nearly took the 401 Derby series at BMO Field.

A long-serving MLS veteran with over 300 appearances in league play, Oduro, 31, says he is pleased with his new deal.

"I am very happy to come back with the Impact, where I have enjoyed a lot of success with the club as well as individually and found more consistency and connection with my teammates," he said. "I also have a strong connection with the fans which made my decision even easier to return."
