Sercombe told BBC Radio Oxford: "It was time for me to leave and the right club has come about. I can't wait to get started at Oxford.
"I went and met the manager and the chief executive. Everyone knows how big the club is and I want to be part of helping them get out of League Two, hopefully we can do that next year.
"There was interest from a few other clubs but the way Oxford are planning I wanted to be part of that. I'm glad it's all over the line."
Sercombe is Oxford's second signing in two days, following forward Kemar Roofe's move from West Brom.
