On Friday, Sporting CEO Robb Heineman had tweeted that Oduro "should play for" his club, but the Ghanaian stayed put.
"We are happy to have come to an agreement with Dominic on a new two-year contract," said Impact technical director Adam Braz.
"Dominic has been an important part of our success in the last two years and has fit in nicely with the club and the city. His pace and ability to get in behind defenders has led to his important offensive contribution to the team. His experience and team first mentality will continue to be important within our group."
