Technical director David Weir said, “Odel has been around the first team picture for a while now, but we want him to get regular minutes.
“It was great for us to have another academy graduate get their first taste of Premier League football last season, something Odel had earned and we’re looking forward to seeing how he adapts to this new challenge in Scotland. We wish him the best of luck for the season.”
