Kemar Roofe joins Leeds United from Oxford United on four-year deal

Leeds United announce the signing of Kemar Roofe from Oxford United on a four-year deal.

Leeds United have announced the signing of Kemar Roofe from Oxford United on a four-year deal.

The 23-year-old heads to Elland Road after helping Oxford earn promotion to League One, which resulted in the forward being named League Two Player of the Year.

Roofe, who will join up with his new teammates at a pre-season training camp in Ireland, scored 26 goals in 49 matches last season.

"It's an amazing feeling," Roofe told the club's official website. "I don't think I'll actually realise how big the club is until the first game of the season, but I'm amazed by what I've seen so far. As soon as I found out, I was really pleased to be a part of a club like this. The club has a great history and a bright future as well.

"You can tell there's something exciting happening here with the signings we're making - they're all good signings. I can't wait to start getting to know the squad and playing football again."

Roofe follows Marcus Antonsson, Kyle Bartley, Hadi Sacko, Robert Green and Matt Grimes to the Championship club.
