Joining recent signings Antonio Kaufusi, Neville Costigan, Beau Henry and Siuatonga Likiliki, the Knights 2011 playing ranks will be further strengthened with the inclusion of the pair.
Naiqama, 21, is in his third year with the Knights after moving with older brother and current teammate Wes from the St George Illawarra Dragons.
The Knights NYC Players' Player of 2009 has extended his contract with Newcastle until the end of 2011.
A try scoring machine, Naiqama has scored three tries in three matches already this year, with a total of 13 tries for the Central Coast Centurions.
O'Donnell, 20, is also the younger brother of a current NRL player in Cowboys and State of Origin enforcer Luke.
O'Donnell offers great versatility playing in both the centres and back row with an impressive 190cm and 102kg frame.
The Greystanes Devils junior has signed with the Knights for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
"Both Kevin and Kyle are exciting young talent who have plenty of potential and we are pleased to confirm their signings," Knights Head Coach Rick Stone said.
