Oxford United have signed midfielder Mark Sykes from Glenavon for an undisclosed fee and finalised a loan deal for Wolves winger Jordan Graham.

Northern Ireland Under-21 international Sykes, 21, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the U's.

He could make his debut when the League One side travel to Brentford in the FA Cup on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Graham's switch was agreed last week and he moves to the Kassam Stadium until the end of the campaign.

The 23-year-old had a loan spell at Championship club Ipswich earlier this season, featuring four times.
