TYLER Goodrham has his eyes set on playing in the Premier League after signing a ‘long-term’ contract with Oxford United.
The 20-year-old winger has scored six goals in 31 appearances this season, including a match-winning brace in the 2-1 win at home to Charlton Athletic back in August.
Goodrham also displayed a number of key moments for the U’s last season, netting a stunning stoppage time winner on his league debut at home to Cambridge United, plus key strikes against Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers in the club’s battle against relegation.

On his new deal, Goodrham said: “I’m absolutely buzzing. It’s been one I’ve trying to get and achieve, and to get it over the line and done, I’m buzzing.
“It’s a really big achievement for me and I love being here, and I love being a part of it. That stability is always nice, whatever job you’re in.
“I want to go and play in the Premier League, and that’s what I work for, and why I come here every day to be better, and hit that ceiling.
“There’s still more to come from me, and I want to keep adding goals and assists, and get more minutes under my belt, and help this team get promoted – that’s the main thing.
“At the start of season, I wanted to take on more responsibility and I enjoyed having that weight on my shoulders.
“I enjoy that expectation and weight on my shoulders, where someone is looking for you to score.”
