Oli Johnson scores in Oxford’s 2-0 win over Swindon in March. Johnson has joined York for next season
OLI Johnson is set to face Oxford United in the opening month of the npower League Two season after signing for York City.
The 24-year-old was not offered a new contract by the U’s when his short-term deal expired last month.
But the former Norwich City winger has been snapped up by the promoted Minstermen for next season.
He will have an early opportunity to prove a point to United, with Chris Wilder’s side visiting Bootham Crescent on Saturday, September 1.
Johnson made 17 appearances for United after joining in January, scoring three goals – one of which came in the home win over Swindon.
