Academy Graduate to First Team
Having joined Oxford at the age of 14, Tyler Goodrham has joined the first team as a product of the club’s academy.
The forward made his U’s debut in November 2019 but made himself a regular among the first team in the 2022/23 campaign after scoring a late winner on his debut in a win over Cambridge.
Since then, he has surpassed 140 outings for the club and helped the U’s secure promotion to the Championship with a brilliant display at Wembley last summer.
In most transfer windows, Goodrham has been linked with a move away but this new deal means any potential departure should result in a significant transfer fee.
