Jamie Cumming Signs New Deal at Oxford United<\/h2>\n

In-Form Goalkeeper<\/h3>\n

The former Chelsea man has kept 21 clean sheets, and several sensational saves, from 68 appearances.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Oxford Mail<\/a> reported that Cumming\u2019s previous deal was set to expire next summer so it’s another shrewd bit of business by the board.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking as he signed his new deal<\/a>, Cumming said: \u201cThe 18 months I have had at Oxford United have been the most enjoyable and successful of my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been so many high moments and I want to continue to play my part in taking the club forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have developed immensely since joining and I know that by extending my deal, I will only improve further.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a brilliant goalkeeping department at the club headed up by Lewis Price, and I\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
