THE new contract handed to Mark Harris takes it to seven Oxford United players who have signed fresh deals since the end of the season.

Simon Eastwood and Matt Ingram in the goalkeeping department, plus Ciaron Brown, Sam Long, James Golding and Josh Johnson, have also agreed new contracts.

As a striker though, Harris is perhaps the most divisive of those players among the U’s fanbase.

It comes with the territory of being a centre forward. Goals win games, and therefore strikers are often the easiest target after a negative result.

But it’s my opinion that Harris is deserving of his new deal.
