Aston Oxborough // Third year lucky
11/14/2024 12:00 PM
When Aston Oxborough first arrived at Motherwell back in August 2022, the man who signed him, Graham Alexander, had just departed the club.
Prior to arriving, Oxborough knew that current number one and to-be club captain, Liam Kelly, was firmly the man he had to overcome if he wanted game time.
Knowing the state of play, his move here was calculated and planned out. He knew he would have to bide his time, and eventually, after two seasons when Liam Kelly left for pastures new, Oxborough signed a new deal, having only made two appearances in two seasons.
At the age of 26, he had very few minutes to his name, and it was a case of now or never for him in Motherwell colours. With the arrival of another keeper, Oxborough fought it out for the number one spot and has now cemented that position in the team thanks to countless good performances and has even picked up some accolades along the way.
This upturn in fortune has occurred at just the right time, with the arrival of his first child, Arlo, coinciding with this good form on the pitch. Having suffered miscarriages in the past, Arlo’s arrival marks the start of everything clicking into place for the English shot-stopper on and off the pitch.
