Tom Bradshaw: Oxford United sign Millwall striker for undisclosed fee

Oxford United have signed striker Tom Bradshaw from fellow Championship side Millwall for an undisclosed fee.

The 32-year-old ends a seven-year spell with the Lions and links up with former Millwall manager Gary Rowett at the Kassam Stadium.

On Tuesday, Rowett said the Wales forward would be a “great addition” to his squad as he looks to add experience to last season’s League One play-off winners.

“This is something that I feel like I need in my career,” said Bradshaw, whose contract length has not been disclosed by Oxford.

“This is a fresh start, a fresh challenge, and I’m ready to go out and impress everyone here at the club.

“I have seen first-hand this season how strong and competitive the team here is having played against United twice, and this group is one that I want to be involved in.

“The cherry on top is getting to work with Gary again, who was my coach for four years, so I know what he wants from me and hopefully we can deliver together.”

Having started out at Shrewsbury Town, Bradshaw joined Walsall in 2014 where he scored 40 goals in a two-year spell before moving to Barnsley in the Championship.

Following the Tykes’ relegation to League One in 2018, he joined Millwall, initially on loan before making the move permanent in January 2019.

Bradshaw has gone on to score 45 goals in 211 appearances for the club.

“He’s a player who has scored 17 goals for me in this league only two years ago, so I know all about his quality as a player and it’s there for everyone to see,” Rowett added.

“I believe the team can really benefit from his Championship knowledge. He is a person with an incredible enthusiasm who I am excited to work with again.”
