Born in Greenwich in England, Sodje's playing career has been based in his native country.
He joined Crewe back at the start of the 1999/2000 season and has been a regular feature of the club's defence.
A solid tackler, he revels in launching attacks from the back four and putting himself in goalscoring positions from set pieces.
He can, if necessary, be played at right back, instead of his preferred position at the centre of defence.
