James Golding Signs New Deal

Oxford United are pleased to announce that defender James Golding has signed a new long-term deal with the club.

New contract for Golding

'Long term deal'.
Would that be potentially 2 years plus a year option? I wonder why they don't say how long?
I have been reasonably impressed with Golding. Negru has made his path more difficult.
Hopefully he can get a decent loan next season.

 

[Marked Ox]

Congratulations to him.

Just hope we can get GO'D and TG on new long term deals.

Recalled from loan at Dartford and goes straight out to Maidenhead Utd.

Don’t know anything about either side, but it’s a move up from NLS to NL, so presumably means he’s been doing well.

Fair play to the young man shows he's doing well for himself he's moving in the right direction hopefully he will be around our first team in the next couple of seasons

Always interesting to see how fans of the parent club react to our young players leaving, and the few comments under this seem very positive. Good to hear.

Maidenhead are 4th from bottom in the NL.
Lots of intense, important games for him.

Watched him put in a solid performance in a 2-1 away win at Solihull Moors on Saturday.
Maidenhead Utd have won last 3 so seems he is having a positive effect on their recent performances.
Looked to me he is progressing nicely and will be interesting to see what the new manager feels about him.

What position did he play in?
He seems to have played in 3 or 4 positions since he has been there.

Looked like left sided centre half and left side of a 3 when reverting to a 5.
He had license to come out with the ball and also got forward a lot for set plays.

Hopefully the Maidenhead manager doesn’t lose his mind and start playing him as a right wing back.

Box to box midfielder was the plan. Apparently he played there in training and was '"unbelievable".

Unbelievable is definitely the word.

Everyone is really a right wingback, it's just some don't realise it.

 

[Rainbow42]

Looks more like a Rob Dickie kind of roll when he was at his best for us would suit.

The real right wingback was the friends we made along the way, or something.

It's a decent standard of football and Maidenhead seem to have improved since Golding went there.
Good to see.

If you look around the room and don’t see a right wingback then you are the right wingback…

Am I wrong or is he known for playing RB? Apologies if I'm ruining a joke
