Odilon: Poland centre-forward linked with surprise move to Stal Gorzyce

Odilon has completed a free transfer from Slovak side MFK Rožňava to Polish club Stal Gorzyce, signing a contract that begins on 2026-03-07 and runs until 2027-06-30. The 29-year-old centre-forward joins the Polish outfit after a brief spell in Slovakia, returning to a country where he has previously played club football.

The move sees the Angola/DR Congo dual national leave Rožňava without a transfer fee, with the deal registered as a free transfer. Stal Gorzyce secure an experienced attacking option who is listed primarily as a centre-forward, operating on the right foot and standing 1.79 meters tall. No market value is recorded for the player in the latest data, underlining that this is a low-risk addition for the Polish club in financial terms.

For Odilon, the switch represents another step in a career that has already taken him across multiple leagues and countries. Born in M’banza Kongo on 03 Nov 1996, he first built his professional résumé in Angola with AS Aviação, before moving in 2019 to Académica Petróleos do Lobito. A subsequent transfer in 2020 to Wiliete Sport Clube de Benguela kept him in the Angolan domestic scene, providing a solid platform in his home country’s football environment.

His first move abroad came when he left Wiliete for Poland’s Mlawianka Mlawa in early 2022. That marked the beginning of his European journey and his initial exposure to Polish football. In March 2025, he switched from Mlawianka Mlawa to Slovak side FK Cana, and later that year moved again within Slovakia to MFK Rožňava. From there, he now returns to Poland with Stal Gorzyce as his latest destination.

The transfer confirms that Odilon will once more be playing abroad rather than in Angola or DR Congo, continuing a pattern of cross-border moves that has characterized the latter half of his career. While his new club’s league is not specified in the data, Stal Gorzyce’s participation in Polish competition means he will again be competing in that country’s football system instead of the Angolan domestic leagues where he started out.

No recent match data, individual performance details, or seasonal statistics are recorded in the information provided, and there are no figures listed for goals, appearances, or assists at his previous clubs. Similarly, there are no media reactions, fan responses, or commentary from either Angola or DR Congo documented in the data, so the wider reception to his latest move cannot be assessed from available sources.

What is clear is that this confirmed transfer extends a career path that has already taken Odilon from Angola’s club scene to multiple teams in Poland and Slovakia. The move to Stal Gorzyce offers him another opportunity to re-establish himself in Polish football and to add a new chapter to a journeyman career defined by adaptability and willingness to cross borders in search of playing time.
