Bloomfield began his managerial career at Colchester United before taking over from Gareth Ainsworth at Wycombe Wanderers in 2023. After leading the Chairboys to the League One automatic promotion places amid the challenge of big-spending Birmingham City and Wrexham last season, he left the club to take over at Luton in January. The U's play four league games - against Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers, Leicester City and Birmingham City - inside 15 days later this month. "Matt stood out for his attention to detail, work ethic and his strong belief in building success the right way. He is a coach with a very clear idea of how he wants his teams to play," said Oxford's head of football operations Ed Waldron.
