Truro City is delighted to announce the signing of Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain on a two-year deal, ahead of the 2025-26 National League campaign.
The 27-year-old, brother of former Premier League winner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and son of ex-England international Mark Chamberlain, joined City on an initial three month loan from Kidderminster Harriers in August 2024.
Making his debut in the season opener against Dorking Wanderers, Oxlade-Chamberlain missed just one game throughout Truro’s dramatic National League South title triumph, after signing two loan extensions in November and January.
An instant fans favourite, the Portsmouth born defender found the net twice for John Askey’s side, whilst claiming countless assists with his venomous long-throw.
And after he was released by Kidderminster Harriers last month, Oxlade-Chamberlain has come City’s third new signing this summer, along with Harry Kite and Lirak Hasani.
“After what we achieved last season, it was only right to carry things on into the new league to see what we could do,” Oxlade-Chamberlain told trurocity.co.uk
“It is almost silly when I think back to when I signed, considering what we went on to achieve. (Promotion) certainly wasn’t on my bingo card, but it was a great way to finish the season and then the party afterwards, with the bus parade, was just fantastic.
“The fans – and I don’t know if it is a Cornish thing – seem to appreciate anyone who comes down here and gives it their all and I have had a great time with everyone.
“Next season, we will have some tough games against some really good teams and nice stadiums, with some very long away days.
“The hard work starts now though and it was great to be back in pre-season and great to see the boys yesterday (Saturday).
“We all want to play football and that is why we do it, so it is fun to be back playing football and I can’t wait for the first game.”
