Tyrone Marsh will be kept on next season as Oxford United intend to activate an additional year in his contract.

The striker made his first-team debut in August and scored his first goal last month.

Last week he joined Staines Town on loan for the rest of the season, scoring the winner on debut against Bath City last weekend.

Marsh is one of 16 players out of contract this summer, but like fellow first year professional Max Crocombe, the club intend to trigger an extension.

And chairman Ian Lenagan is hopeful of tying them down for even longer.

He said: “We will take those options up and we want to sign those young players for the next three years at least.”
