Oxford United have made their third signing of the January transfer window with the arrival of striker, Tom Bradshaw.
The 32-year-old Wales international joins the U’s for an undisclosed fee from Millwall and teams up with his former manager, Gary Rowett.
Oxford United Sign Tom Bradshaw
Attacking Impetus
The arrival of Bradshaw will add some much-needed attacking threat in Oxford’s game.
The striker found the net 17 times in 41 Championship outings just two seasons ago under Rowett and the head coach will be looking to rekindle some of that form.
Oxford have struggled for goals, with Mark Harris the leading scorer on five. However, the Wales striker has only scored once in his last 22 games having scored in each of the opening four league games of the campaign.
Tottenham loanee Dane Scarlett has also added four goals, with him and Harris sharing minutes across the 90.
What Was Said
Speaking after finalising his move to the club, he said: “This is something that I feel like I need in my career.
“This is a fresh start, a fresh challenge, and I’m ready to go out and impress everyone here at the club.
“My aim is to leave everything out on the pitch, that’s the type of player I am. I thrive off scoring goals and ultimately, it’s my job now to do that so I can help the team win games.
“I have seen first-hand this season how strong and competitive the team here is having played against United twice, and this group is one that I want to be involved in.
“The cherry on top is getting to work with Gary again who was my coach for four years, so I know what he wants from me and hopefully we can deliver together.”
Head Coach, Gary Rowett, said: “He’s a player who has scored 17 goals for me in this league only two years ago, so I know all about his quality as a player and it’s there for everyone to see.
“Also important is that he is a fantastic character and one I know will fit straight into the group and help our dynamic within the Training Ground.
“I believe the team can really benefit from his Championship knowledge. He is a person with an incredible enthusiasm who I am excited to work with again.”
