Jamie Cumming Signs New Deal at Oxford United
In-Form Goalkeeper
The former Chelsea man has kept 21 clean sheets, and several sensational saves, from 68 appearances.
Not only that but the 25-year-old was one of the standout goalkeepers in the Championship last season, with the third-best record for expected goals prevented in the league.
Cumming also ranked in the top five in the division for pass completion rate, showcasing his ability as one of the most promising all-round English goalkeepers, while also saving two penalties.
The Oxford Mail reported that Cumming’s previous deal was set to expire next summer so it’s another shrewd bit of business by the board.
What Was Said
Speaking as he signed his new deal, Cumming said: “The 18 months I have had at Oxford United have been the most enjoyable and successful of my career.
“There have been so many high moments and I want to continue to play my part in taking the club forward.
“I have developed immensely since joining and I know that by extending my deal, I will only improve further.
“We have a brilliant goalkeeping department at the club headed up by Lewis Price, and I’d like to say a massive thank you to them. Each day, the standard in our group is at such a level, it pushes you to be a better version of yourself as a goalkeeper and a person.
“The supporters have also been so encouraging. They have made me feel at home since day one and I want to ensure I give everything back to help the club this season and beyond.”
