Sky Sports football presenter David Jones has, as expected, been confirmed as a non-executive director at Oxford United.

A friend of U's chairman Darryl Eales, Jones will advise the board on all matters, and is exciting to be working with the club.

“This is a hugely exciting opportunity for me to use the knowledge, experience and contacts I’ve gathered in my career so far to help grow a very ambitious football club," he said.

Eales added: “I am delighted that he has agreed to join the board as we seek to move the club forward on all fronts. I think we will all benefit from both his insight and enthusiasm."

Jones is best-known for hosting Saturday Night Football on Sky Sports.
