Oxford United have added another attacking player with the arrival of winger, Matt Phillips.
The 33-year-old, who was born in Aylesbury, has spent the last eight seasons at West Brom before his release in the summer.
The winger spent three seasons at QPR prior to his move to the Hawthorns and has spent his last 13 seasons playing in the Championship or above.
Phillips, who has been capped 16 times by Scotland, said: “I’m delighted. It’s a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get started.
“I’ve had a few days of training already and I’m delighted to get started. I noticed from walking in that it’s a very tight group that’s together, which showed in getting up through the play-offs.
“I want to have another successful season with the team here and I feel like I have a lot to offer. This is an opportunity for me to come and play football and really go and do something special.
“I don’t want to put a target on things. People might write us off, but I want to prove people wrong and reach for the stars and let us see where it takes us.”
Des Buckingham added: “Matt is a fantastic addition to the group, and he brings lots of quality and experience to our forward line and overall team that will be highly important to us.
“After seeing Matt in training with us and then speaking with him, his strengths as a player and person were clear to see and he will add huge quality after more than a decade in the top two divisions.
“Matt has been bought in to complement our wide areas but is also comfortable across a number of positions in the forward line, and we look forward to seeing what he can bring to us on the pitch, as well as the contribution he can make as a leader in our training ground.”
