Luke McNally Joins Oxford United

Oxford United have completed the signing of defender Luke McNally for an undisclosed fee from St Patrick's Athletic.

The 21-year-old centre-half joins on a three and a half year deal and boss Karl Robinson was pleased to welcome him to the club

“He’s a good size, he uses the ball well and there were a lot of clubs interested so we are happy that he sees Oxford as a club where he can come over to England and hopefully continue to develop. He has been playing senior competitive football regularly and that has really helped him get used to the physical side of the game. He’s raw, perhaps, but he’s another we feel will go on and do really well for the club.”

Luke told us

“It’s exciting to be joining a club like Oxford, especially with the run they are on at the moment. The facilities are great, I spoke with the manager and he was so impressive in the plans that this club has - that was a big part of my decision. I’ve come in, been made to feel very welcome and now I can’t wait to get started.”

Luke will wear the number 4 shirt for the U’s. Would you like to sponsor his kit, see your name in every programme and have his shirt, signed, at the end of the season? Player sponsorships are available now for £250+ VAT, call 01865 337513 or email commercial@oufc.co.uk
