Fulham youngster Harris heads to Oxford on loan

Luke Harris was part of Birmingham's League One title-winning squad last season

Oxford United have acquired Fulham youngster Luke Harris on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old Wales Under-21 winger moves to the Kassam Stadium to gain experience in the Championship.

He spent last season on loan with Birmingham City as they eased to the League One title with Harris playing 36 games and scoring four goals.

Prior to that, he had a loan spell at Exeter City and he has made four brief substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Cottagers.

"Last season, I watched a lot of Luke having kept a close eye on Birmingham City,2 Oxford head coach Gary Rowett told the club's website.

"He is a player with a lot of quality on the ball and someone who wants to take risks at the top end of the pitch.

"He has a lot of first team experience in the EFL for his age. We want to sign players that can have an immediate impact, and we feel Luke is ready to be a positive influence in our group."

Oxford begin their second season back in the Championship at home to Portsmouth on 9 August.
