Contents

He came through the youth academy at Leicester City, and made his debut for them in August 2015, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist in a 4–1 win at Bury. Later that year, he had a one-month loan at Bury. In July 2016, he signed a four-year deal at Rangers. Dodoo made a limited amount of appearances for the Rangers first team, and was loaned to Charlton Athletic and Blackpool.

Born in Ghana and living in England from the age of eight, Dodoo is eligible to represent either Ghana or England at the international level. [3] He has played once for England at under-18 level in 2013.

Club career

Leicester City

Dodoo made his first team debut on 25 August 2015, in the second round of the League Cup away to Bury at Gigg Lane. He played the full 90 minutes and scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 victory, also assisting the goal by Andrej Kramarić. [4] Bury subsequently stated that they were interested in signing him on loan. [5] Four days later, Dodoo made his first Premier League appearance, as a 72nd-minute substitute for Marc Albrighton in a 1–1 draw with Bournemouth at Dean Court. [6] In the next round of the League Cup on 22 September 2015, his first game at the King Power Stadium, Dodoo scored the opening goal after six minutes in a 2–1 extra-time win over West Ham United.

[9] Many sources have recorded this as a Dodoo goal, however, officially it was recorded as a Binnom-Williams own goal. [10]
