Oxford United Finding Other Dutch League Stars After Satisfied with Romeny’s Ole Performance

Oxford United coach, Gary Rowett, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Indonesian national team striker, Ole Romeny, who was recruited from FC Utrecht in January 2025. In 14 performances since joining, Romeny managed to score one goal, showing promising quality for the club. This positive performance encouraged Rowett to continue to hunt for talents from the Dutch League, in an effort to strengthen the OX squad.

Rowett has sent a scouting team to monitor matches in the Dutch League. The team is tasked with finding quality players and potentially to be brought to the Championship. “We went to the Netherlands to watch the match. Many managers were there because of access close to England and the number of matches that we could cover at one time,” Rowett said in an interview with Oxford Mail.

The main focus in talent search is to find players in accordance with Oxford United’s philosophy who prioritizes hard work, tactics, and competitive characters. Rowett believes that the Dutch League holds various talents that can help his team develop. “There are many promising targets there, and we believe that players from various leagues can make a significant contribution,” he added.

Despite having a major focus on the Dutch League, Rowett did not rule out the possibility of recruiting players from other leagues. Diversity in the squad, which consists of various countries and cultures, is an important added value for Oxford. “We want to bring in quality players from anywhere. The challenges may be different, but we are committed to finding the best,” he explained.

Oxford United’s ambition to improve the quality of the game is increasingly clearly visible with the plan to add new players. With a more aggressive scouting approach, the club hopes to bring new talents that can increase team competitiveness on the Championship stage.

The success of Ole Romeny in adjusting at the beginning of his career with Oxford United became a positive capital. Coach Rowett hopes that Romeny’s presence can be a trigger for his colleagues to work hard and encourage the team to achieve better results in the coming season. With the 2025 summer transfer market that is getting closer, this opens the opportunity for Oxford to increase the depth of their squad.

One thing is clear, this transfer market provides an opportunity for Oxford United to not only strengthen the team, but also attract the attention of supporters who want quality games. The public is now waiting for who the next player will be presented from the Netherlands to join Romeny in Summertown.

In this talent search process, Oxford United showed his ambition in exploring the potential of players not only in one league, but also in various competitions. The success of this strategy could be decisive for the future of the club, especially ahead of important moments in domestic competition.

With Rowett’s careful and analytical leadership, Oxford United has ambitions to build a team that is not only strong individually, but also compact as a collective. Their readiness in finding new talents becomes very interesting to follow in the coming season.
