Oxford United Sign Luke Harris on Loan
Promising Youngster
At just 20, this will be a third spell away from Craven Cottage for Harris, who has also turned out seven times for the Fulham first team.
The Welshman spent the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Exeter, where he scored four goals and added two assists in 21 League One appearances.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at title-winning Birmingham, scoring three times in 29 league games.
What Was Said
Speaking to OUTV after signing, he said: “I’m delighted to be here. I just can’t wait to get started. It’s good to be in to meet the boys, now I’m just ready to get going.
“I’m a player who wants to try and get into the box as much as possible and get on the end of things to score.
“I’ve played a number of times in the Wales set up and I feel that will benefit me here at Oxford United. I hope all my football to date will put me in good stead for this season.
“I’ve had good experience going out and playing men’s first team football. It was a good experience for me last season to win the league, even though I feel I didn’t play as much as I wanted to.
“I can’t wait for this challenge and I’m looking forward to showing the fans what I can do when I get out on the pitch.”
Head coach, Gary Rowett, said: “Luke is a real high level young player who we are excited to work with.
“Last season, I watched a lot of Luke having kept a close eye on Birmingham City. 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.”
