The 25-year-old defender, who hails from Park Village, will switch League One clubs at the end of his Oxford contract on July 1.

Dunkley has played for the U’s since November 2014, when he moved to the Kassam Stadium from Kidderminster Harriers.

“It’s a big club who have got really strong players for this division,” said Dunkley, who has also played non-league football for Hednesford Town. “The club sells itself to me and we all want to get back into the Championship.”
