18 year-old Oxford United attacking midfielder Tyler Goodrham has joined United on a youth loan to further his senior experience. He is highly thought of at Oxford and their Academy Manager Dan Harris is quoted by the U's as saying "We think the world of Tyler and he has done really well this summer but he needs to be in and around senior men’s football at the moment and this is a great opportunity for him to join a club where we know he will be really well looked after". Tyler started the match and scored against United during his host clubs pre-season victory over Paul Hughes' side. We welcome Tyler to the SKYex and hope your stay is beneficial to yourself as a player and the Club, I also offer a belated welcome back to returning goalkeeper Ravan Constable who is currently deputising for the injured Jack Smith.
