Chris Wilder was delighted that Oxford United coaches Mickey Lewis and Andy Melville also agreed new deals.

The duo signed new two-year contracts, and United’s boss, who has agreed a three-year deal, said he feels the trio work well.

“We all have the same drive and desire to achieve,” he said.

“We are passionate about our work, and seems to work well as a team.

“They are great people to have around, and it’s really positive that they have signed new contracts too.”
