Oxford United have awarded Billy Bodin with a new two-year contract following an impressive debut season with the club.
The 30-year-old joined the U’s last summer following his release from Preston and despite an injury-hit campaign, the former Wales international chipped in with seven goals and five assists from 25 appearances.
After only committing to a one-year deal last summer, both Bodin and U’s boss Karl Robinson were happy to see an extension at the club.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Bodin said: “I saw Elliott Moore and Alex Gorrin say they felt there was unfinished business here and I feel exactly the same way.
“We pushed really hard for promotion and just fell short at the end last season, so I want to play my part in doing better this time around.
“We have such a good group here and we it’s a pleasure to be part of a side that is committed to playing good football.
“I have enjoyed every moment since I first signed and can’t wait to get back for pre-season and be part of the group again.”
Robinson added: “The fans could see really quickly what a talented player Billy is.
“Off the field he slotted straight in and is a fantastic pro who bought into the culture of the club very quickly.
“It’s not just his goals, it’s the way he creates things for others around him too. He had other options but I am delighted that he sees his future here and wants to be part of where we aim to take this club over the next couple of years.”
