WAYNE Brown has accepted a new two-year contract to stay at Oxford United.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper will again act as back-up to the U’s number one Ryan Clarke.
His new deal will also see him take on more of a coachng role, assisting Alan Hodgkinson in helping to bring through youngster Max Crocombe.
He said: "I've really enjoyed my time in Oxford and I'm pleased to have extended my stay.
"I feel I still have something to offer as a player, but at the same time I see coaching as my future and I couldn't ask for a better person to learn from than Alan."
Brown made four appearances for the first-team last season, but missed the end of the campaign with a knee injury.
It leaves Adam Chapman as the only player offered a new contract by the U’s last week yet to agree his future.
