Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has called the club ‘special’ that it has a habit of attracting former players back to Adams Park.

This comes after Fred Onyedinma became the latest Chairboy to re-sign for the side, three years after leaving for a third time.

His arrival, along with West Ham United’s Gideon Kodua on loan, means an ex-player has found their back at Wycombe for a 13th consecutive season. 

Speaking on this, Bloomfield said: "I’m fortunate to work for a special football club that gets under people’s skin which affects their lives and their families.

“It’s not a surprise when players come back and Fred is another example of that.

“People have moved to a higher league but have come back as we make them feel comfortable and at home.

“I had always kept in touch with Fred and several other people [ex-teammates] because as we know, life goes on as people go to different clubs but you are in touch with those who you struck up a close relationship with.”
