OXFORD United Women’s squad for the 2015 season has started to take shape after extending the contracts of two important players.

Goalkeeper Demi Lambourne and midfielder Kayleigh Hines will be part of the new FA Women’s Super League 2 campaign after the club activated the options in their existing deals.

Hines, scorer of three goals as the U’s finished ninth, said: “I’m very happy to be continuing the WSL journey with the club into next season and hopefully many more to come.”

Lambourne, whose displays earned a call-up to training with England’s under 19 squad, said: “I really enjoyed playing last year and I’m looking forward to the chance to continue that.”
