OXFORD United today boosted their League Two prospects by signing centre back Jake Wright on a free transfer from Brighton.
The 23-year-old left-sided defender was on loan to the U's for the second half of last season, and played a major part in their promotion via the play-offs.
Wright has signed a three-year contract and will be moving from Sussex to Oxfordshire, with the 12th Man Fund helping out with his relocation costs.
The Yorkshire-born player becomes manager Chris Wilder's ninth signing of the summer, joining Simon Eastwood, Steven Kinniburgh, Ben Purkiss, Asa Hall, Mitchell Cole, Alfie Potter, Simon Heslop and Matt Green, who will join up with the other under-contract U's players for the first day of pre-season training tomorrow.
