As Oxford made their third signing of the summer, bringing in defender Peter Kioso from Rotherham on a long-term deal, the club continues to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
In his first interview with the club, Kioso expressed his excitement about joining Oxford, saying, “I watched a couple of games of the club last season and played against them and I feel like everything I’ve seen from the outside is a family team. The reason I wanted to sign is because it’s a club that knows what direction they want to go in. I want to be part of that as the club have full belief and I do too. I want to help the team get stronger. There is a great team here and I need to show the boys why I deserve to be here, and I can’t wait to see the fans next season.”
“We have been in contract negotiations with Josh since the turn of the year,” said a club spokesperson. “The club put forward a fantastic offer and we did everything in our power to keep him at Oxford United.”
With Kioso’s arrival, Oxford United looks to continue building a competitive team that aims to make waves in the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see exciting football and a united team as the club moves forward with a clear direction in mind.
