Joe Grayson has not made any appearances for Blackburn Rovers this season

Oxford United have agreed loan moves for Blackburn defender Joe Grayson, Luton Town striker Elliot Lee and Rangers forward Brandon Barker.

The trio all join the League One club until the end of the season.

Former West Ham and Barnsley striker Lee, 26, has played 112 games and scored 27 goals for the Hatters.

He helped the club win back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship but has scored just three goals in the last two seasons.

Grayson, 21, can play at either left-back or in central defence.

Winger Barker, 24, has scored twice in 13 outings in all competitions for Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers this season.

"A huge reason I chose Oxford is I think the style of football the manager plays will really suit me," Grayson told BBC Radio Oxford.

On Lee, manager Karl Robinson told the club website: "He can play up front or just behind the striker, he works hard and makes good things happen around the penalty box.

"He has obviously won promotion at Luton so he knows what it takes to be successful at this level and we think he will play a major role for us in the second half of the season."
