What is going on at Oxford United at the moment? All the latest U’s news here

Oxford United are having a successful season and currently sit fifth in the table in the play-off positions.

The race at the top of the league for a play-off spot us a competitive one so their space isn’t secure yet but having lost only one of their previous seven games, they will be hoping they can remain in good form for the final seven games of the season.

Due to the international break, they were without a fixture this weekend but next week they’re straight back into it as they travel to Plymouth who sit a place above them in the table.

As the Us prepare for this, we take a look at some of the latest news surrounding Oxford United.

Anthony Forde

Anthony Forde joined Oxford back ahead of the 2019-20 season initially on a two year deal.

Since joining he has done well at Oxford and settled himself into the side having made 35 league appearances last season.

He’s found game time harder to come across this season having made only ten starts as it stands. However, he is a good player and clearly Oxford think he gives them something as they announced his contract had been extended by another year.

It does come as a bit of a surprise as you might have thought that the player would want to go and find himself first team football. If he’s not getting much game time now, will that look to decrease even more if Oxford are to go up?

However, the 28-year-old is a good player and possibly an underrated one at Oxford. Therefore, maybe this new deal suggests that we will see the player get back out on the pitch more next season.

Gavin Whyte

Former Us player Gavin Whyte rejoined the club on loan from Cardiff City in summer for the season.

Whyte has had a good season for Oxford scoring one goal and contributing ten assists in 32 games
