JORDAN Graham has become Oxford United’s newest professional after putting pen to paper on his first contract.

The 18-year-old forward was offered terms last week and the formalities have now been concluded.

Graham, who has had a spell on loan at Didcot Town at the start of the season, has spent three years in United’s youth set-up after coming through the academy’s education programme.

U’s head coach Michael Appleton said: “It is great to have it signed and have Jordan with us as a pro.

“He has a good attitude and works hard at his game and we are sure he will make the most of this opportunity.”
