Sam Long believes Oxford match his own ambition after he signed a new three-year deal at the club.

The 26-year-old right-back has been with the U’s since he was eight and was “happy to sign” a fresh long-term contract.

“I love being here and am really happy to sign,” Long told the club’s website.

“It’s not just the fact I have been here for a long time, I am ambitious and know that the club has big plans and ambitions too so I am glad they see me as part of those plans.

“It has been a tough season for everyone but we are still in there fighting for the play-offs with some big games coming up now.”

Boss Karl Robinson said: “We are a better club and a better team with him here and that’s because he cares so much and wants to be part of a successful Oxford United.”
