Jeffrey is a former Oxford United midfielder

Banbury United manager Billy Jeffrey is hoping to add to his squad as he prepares for the start of the season in the Southern League Premier.

After earning a reprieve from relegation at the end of last season, Jeffrey is hoping to build a strong squad to avoid a repeat struggle.

He told BBC Oxford: "We're still looking (for players). I'm looking for another centre-back.

"We'll do our best to find someone in the next couple of weeks."

"We've got a lot of new faces coming in because we're trying to build the squad but we've got a good set of lads who are working hard in training."

Centre-back Luke Bennett picked up a knee injury in a defeat at Stamford and Jeffrey is hoping the defender will not be on the sidelines for too long.

"Luke's going to see a specialist and hopefully it's not his cruciate ligament again. We've got out fingers crossed for the lad," he said.
