Matt Ingram: Oxford United goalkeeper signs new deal

Oxford United goalkeeper Matt Ingram has signed a new contract.

The U’s say the 31-year-old has agreed a deal “for next season and beyond”, having first joined the club last summer from Hull City.

Ingram was Jamie Cumming’s understudy for much of last season, playing once in the Championship and featuring in all three of Oxford’s cup matches.

“We have a very strong group of goalkeepers here, and I have loved coming in everyday trying to push myself and the rest of the team,” Ingram told the club website.

“I said on day one that I wanted to come in and drive the standards each day and bring experience to help us in the league.

“We achieved everything we set out at the start of the season, and I now want to continue to push us further forward.

“The strength of the team is in the unit and togetherness, particularly in our department, and it’s for this reason that I want to stay and continue to give my all.”
