Oxford United's Sam Baldock has called time on his playing career, announcing his retirement at the age of 34. He will continue to play a role at the club, having accepted a newly created position of Business Development Analyst.
Sam, who joined the U's in February 2022, has decided to retire after a series of injuries meant he was limited to just seven games for Oxford United, the club he grew up watching at The Manor. Sam started his playing career at MK Dons before spells at West Ham United, Bristol City, Brighton, Reading and Derby County. In total he played 429 senior games, scoring 121 goals.
Following discussions with Liam Manning, Tim Williams and Grant Ferguson, he will remain with the club to provide support and knowledge to various areas of the business, and to assess his options for the future.
