Former D’Tigress Centre, Oderah Chidom, has joined the French Ligue Féminine de Basketball side Flammes Carolo ahead of the 2024/25 league season.
According reports the announcement was made on the official website of French club on Monday, August 11, 2024.
Chidom left Italian side, Ragusa, where she made an impressive performance, averaging 15.1 points per game and a 52.8% field goal percentage, to join tFlammes Carolo.
Her new club will commence action in the league with their season opener scheduled against Landes Women at the Caisse d’épargne Arena on Monday, August 19, 2024.
The club’s head coach, Romuald Yernaux, said that Chidom had been on the club’s radar for a month, describing her as the right player the club needed ahead of the upcoming season.
She said: “We wanted a recruit who was tall, technically comfortable, but above all, someone who was versatile.
“We wanted a player with a certain intensity, mobility, and aggressiveness in our game. And so Chidom was a profile that we had targeted for several months. However, we had to wait for the prices to return to standards that align with ours. There was an opportunity at the beginning of August, and we were able to seize it.
“She is a player who knows the context of a week without a European Cup and who has performed in this scenario, both in France and in Italy. She is really a player who fits the model that we want to implement. She has an interesting experience.”
