Club career

Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Kodro graduated with Real Sociedad's youth setup, and made his senior debut with the reserves, spending several seasons in Segunda División B. In the 2013–14 campaign he scored eight goals, being the Txuri-urdin second top goalscorer.

In July 2014, Kodro signed for CA Osasuna, being initially assigned to the B-side also in the third level.[1] He made his professional debut on 23 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against FC Barcelona B for the Segunda División championship.[2]

On 18 October Kodro scored his first professional goal, netting a last-minute winner in a 3–2 home success over CD Tenerife.[3] On 28 January 2015 he renewed his link, signing until 2018[4] and being awarded the number 9 jersey.[5]

Kodro was an instrumental part in the Rojillos' promotion to La Liga through the play-offs, after scoring three goals in four matches, two of them in the finals against Girona FC.[6][7]

On 19 August 2016 Kodro made his La Liga debut, starting in a 1–1 draw at Málaga CF.[8]

Kodro's father, Meho, was also a footballer and a striker. Both split sides at Real Sociedad B, the latter as a manager.[9]
