John Odisho, 25, was shot in the head after two men allegedly scaled the outside of his building and broke into his unit at 4am on Monday. A 24-year old relative was also shot in the arm.

Later that day, a 27 year old Yagoona man admitted himself to hospital with a gunshot wound and was put under police guard.

He was today charged with Odisho's murder, as well as shooting with intent to murder, commission of a serious indictable offence, and special aggravated break and enter.

He is expected to appear at Parramatta Local Court tomorrow afternoon by video link from his hospital bed where he remains under police guard.

The NPL3 club yesterday revealed details in a post on their Facebook page from club president, David Frendo.

"It with deep sadness that we share with you all some devastating news," he wrote. "Senior player John Odisho has sadly lost his life in a horrific incident in Five Dock earlier this week.



"John was considered a key signing for our 2019 season. On behalf of the Parramatta Melita Eagles Sports Club Board, I offer our heartfelt condolences to John’s family, his friends and to all personnel involved with John during his time at our club.



"Due to the serious nature and the circumstances relating to the incident leading to John’s passing, PMESC and its board will not be making any further comments, public nor private.



"Rest In Peace John - forever an Eagle."



Comments on the post hailed Odisho's skills on the park and called him a 'football warrior'.
