In 2017, Odendaal joined the Project NTS with a brand new chassis to challenge for the European title again. He finished in third position overall in the FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship, claiming his third South African 600cc national title as well, despite missing four races due to his international commitments.

In 2025, Odendaal joined the BMW Motorrad factory EWC team alongside Sylvain Guintoli and Markus Reiterberger.
