Oxford United Striker Mark Harris Signs New Deal<\/h2>\n

Story So Far<\/h3>\n

Since his arrival as a free agent, Harris struck 19 times in all competitions as the U’s secured promotion from League One with a playoff final victory over Bolton at Wembley last summer.<\/p>\n

His goals were crucial, but it’s his immense work rate, particularly off the ball, that pleases the Oxford supporters.<\/p>\n

This season, the Wales international struck four goals in the opening four Championship fixtures, including a goal of the season contender against Blackburn. However, he would only add a further two throughout the rest of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite that, he’s impressed under three separate Oxford managers and has earned himself a new deal.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

After signing the new deal, Harris said<\/a>: \u201cThe two seasons I have spent at Oxford United have been the most enjoyable in my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the day I arrived, the fans have been outstanding, supporting me through good and bad times. We have had some incredible highs, and I want to do everything I can to continue to provide more moments for this club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel settled here in Oxford, but I\u2019m full of ambition to achieve more. Wembley was a moment I\u2019ll never forget, and last season was another hugely successful season. I want to make sure there are many more special memories to come, and I can see how positive the future is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
