Sean Clare has spent most of his career playing in midfield but is expected to play for Oxford as an attacking right-back

Oxford United have signed Sean Clare from Hearts on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Clare has spent most of his career as a midfielder but has been signed by the League One club with a view to playing as an attacking right-back.

He began his career with Sheffield Wednesday and spent time on loan with Bury, Accrington and Gillingham.

The 23-year-old joined Hearts in 2018 and played 71 times for the Jam Tarts, including 36 appearances last season.

Oxford were beaten by Wycombe in the League One play-off final last month.

"I've stayed pretty fit during lockdown but it will be a case of building that up in pre-season, get to know the lads and help us go one better," said Clare.
