TOMORROW’S visitors could feature a familiar face up front, with former Oxford United striker Matt Green joining Birmingham City this summer.
It will be the 26-year-old’s first return to the Kassam Stadium since leaving for Mansfield Town two years ago.
Green, who opened the scoring at Wembley in United’s Conference play-off victory in 2010, went on to net 56 goals for the Stags, earning him a move to the Championship this month.
United goalkeeper Ryan Clarke is looking forward to seeing his former teammate tomorrow.
“Fair play to him, he’s done very well,” he said.
“Things didn’t work out for him here, but he’s gone away and had a couple of good seasons – that’s football.
“He’s got a chance and knowing Greeny he’s a confident lad and will try to take it with both hands.
“We know what he’s about, so we’ll be on our guard.”
