Campton-Sturridge stays in National League North after Hereford release

DJ Campton-Sturridge has a new club after being released by Hereford

DJ Campton-Sturridge, who joined Hereford in January and made 10 appearances before being released this summer, has signed for Oxford City.

The National League North side is Campton-Sturridge's latest club, and he was formerly with Solihull Moors, Alvechurch, Banbury United and Farsley Celtic.

He started only one game during his four-month spell with the Bulls, and scored no goals.

Now 23, he said the move was "a no brainer" after manager Ross Jenkins had spoken with him. Jenkins said the forward, who is the first new signing of the summer, has "got all the attributes to be successful", saying he is "dynamic, versatile and will bring a real sense of excitement to the fans".

He was one of four players released by Caddis, with the others being Kieran Glynn, Declan McGlynn and Mark Derricott, and came through the ranks at Aston Villa.

On signing Campton-Sturridge, Hereford manager Paul Caddis said: "He’s a player I have admired for some time and we are really excited to work with him.

“DJ will add pace and quality at the top end of the pitch and someone who can cause opposition defenders a lot of problems."
