Career

Long began his career with Oxford United and made his professional debut on 27 April 2013 as a late substitute in a 3–0 victory over Accrington Stanley on the last day of the 2012–13 season. [4] His first starting appearance was in a 1–1 draw with Morecambe in League Two on 22 February 2014. [5]

On 20 November 2014, he joined Kidderminster Harriers on loan as part of a deal that saw Chey Dunkley going the other direction. [6] Following his return to Oxford, he scored his first goal, in a 2–3 home defeat against Southend United in EFL League Two on 17 January 2015. [7] Injuries limited his appearances in 2015–16 and 2016–17, [8] [9] although his contract with Oxford was extended by a year in March 2017. He was loaned to Hampton and Richmond Borough in January 2018, [10] a loan that was later extended. [11] Despite not having played a first-team fixture for Oxford in 2017–18, he signed a new one-year contract in June 2018. [12] Already the club's longest-serving player, having joined the club as an 8-year-old, in June 2020 he signed a two-year extension with Oxford United. [13] In April 2021, Long signed a further three-year deal with the club. [14] He was voted both the Players' and Supporters Player of the Season at the end of the 2020–21 season. [15]
