Hoops promotion winner makes return to club
OXFORD City have announced the return of midfielder Latrell Humphrey-Ewers ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The 22-year-old was formerly part of the Reading academy and represented the England Under-16s alongside the likes of Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott and Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
After being released by the Royals, Humphrey-Ewers joined the Velocity Football programme at the Hoops, breaking into the first team during the 2022/23 campaign.

Humphrey-Ewers played his part as the Hoops won promotion to the Vanarama National League that season, and was then rewarded with his first professional contract in June 2023.
The midfielder was offered a new deal to stay with the Hoops last summer, but moved to Bath City in National League South, spending the latter part of the campaign on loan at Taunton Town.
Humphrey-Ewers told the Hoops website: 'I'm really happy to be back. I feel like it was the right time to come back, and I'm really happy to be here.
'I learnt a lot about my game whilst on loan with Taunton Town last season, and I'm ready to show that here under the gaffer and with the new players.'
Hoops manager Ross Jenkins added: 'I'm delighted to see Latrell back in an Oxford City shirt. He's someone we as a club have worked with for a number of seasons, and he's a player who's worked his way through the Velocity programme and into first team football. I'm looking forward to seeing him step up again.'
