Experienced Goalkeeper Joins Oxford From Championship Rivals

Oxford United have made their ninth summer signing with the arrival of goalkeeper, Matt Ingram.

The 30-year-old is the third shot-stopper to join in the transfer window after Jacob Knightbridge and Jamie Cumming.

Ingram, who came through the setup at Wycombe, spent six years at Adams Park, where he also had a loan spell at Oxford City, before joining Hull in 2019.

The goalkeeper turned out 111 times for the Championship club but has opted for a move to the U’s.

Speaking to the club’s official website, he said: “I’m delighted to be here and I’m really looking forward to the challenge.

“It’s a club on the up and I think good things are going to happen here, so when I knew about the interest I was over the moon.

“I really like the style of the player. We have a good union of goalkeepers here and hopefully, I can be one who drives the standards every day and brings experience to help us in the league.”

Des Buckingham, Head Coach, said: “Matt is a very experienced goalkeeper in the Championship and throughout the EFL.

“He will add some valuable experience while also complimenting the way we want to play. His experience and leadership qualities will add value to what is a very strong goalkeeping department led extremely well by our Goalkeeping Coach, Lewis Price.

“Matt is a great addition to our group and a wonderful character to bring in as we continue to develop our culture and environment”.
