Oxford United are delighted to announce that winger Kyle Edwards has signed a permanent deal with the club until the end of the season.

Kyle made a huge impression after arriving on loan from Ipswich Town earlier in the season, although injuries then limited his appearances. Having returned to Portman Road last week, Edwards was subsequently released from his contract, enabling him to rejoin the U’s.

Head Coach Des Buckingham told us:

“We are really pleased to have Kyle back because we know what a good player he is and the level of performance he is capable of. We weren’t expecting him to become available but, once he did, it seemed a sensible solution for all concerned. The team will work with Kyle as he continues his rehab, and he should be fit for the last month of the regular season.

“To have him available at the business end of this campaign will be an excellent boost at a key time. He is a very positive character and I’m sure the fans will welcome Kyle back.”

Kyle was just as pleased to be joining the club, saying:

“I loved my time at Oxford and was frustrated not to play more because I was really enjoying my football. The injuries were clearly a major setback but I have been working hard and feel like I am making progress every day. The medical team are excellent and have got me in a good place.

“The fans were great with me here, and that gives me a target now: to get fit and make sure we are there celebrating together at the end of the season.”
