Established in the Football League
The last eight years have seen the club firstly re-establish itself in the Football League - or EFL as it has become- and then kick on with another famous promotion party.
Along the way there was been so many memories. 2010 saw the U’s win at the County Ground for the first time since 1973 and then complete the double on a joyous afternoon. There have been new heroes for the United fans- Ryan Clarke, Mark Creighton, James Constable, Alfie Potter, Danny Hylton, Kemar Roofe, Callum O’Dowda…
There have been two further Wembley trips, with defeats against Barnsley and Coventry City failing to take the smiles off the fans for too long, and the U’s sealed promotion under Michael Appleton in 2016, with a record number of away wins also in the bag.

Notable Players
Kemar Roofe
Kemar initially joined on loan from West Brom, making a great impression at the end of the 2014/15 season when he scored six times before making the move permanent in the summer of 2015. He netted 16 times the next season, helping the U's win promotion from League 2. Owner of a magic hat.
Chris Maguire
Maguire scored 4 league goals in 2015–16, all during the final six games of the season culminating in Oxford's promotion to League One. He was a fans favourite in large part because he was an entertaining character on the pitch, and because he scored two goals against club rivals Swindon Town.
Ryan Ledson
England under-19 international, made 70 starts for the U’s, scoring four goals, after joining from Everton in the summer of 2016 and was the winner of the Supporters Player of the Year award that season.
Ryan has been capped by England at under 16, under 17, under 18, under 19 and under 20 levels.
