Oxford United have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Matt Ingram from Hull City for an undisclosed fee.

Ingram, 30, brings extra Championship experience to the newly-promoted side after five years with the Tigers and a loan spell at Luton Town.

In all he has played 74 games in the second tier since making his professional debut in 2010.

“I’m delighted to be here and I’m really looking forward to the challenge," he said.

“It’s a club on the up and I think good things are going to happen here, so when I knew about the interest I was over the moon.

“We have a good union of goalkeepers here and hopefully, I can be one who drives the standards every day and brings experience to help us in the league.”

Oxford are embarking on their first season in the second tier since 1998-99 after winning the League One play-offs last season.
