Oxford United defender Charlie Raglan has joined Port Vale on loan.
The former Chesterfield centre-half made his return to first team action last week in the Checkatrade Trophy game at Chelsea, having missed most of the season through injury.
With Rob Dickie having joined in the transfer window and Aaron Martin, John Mousinho, and Mike Williamson also competing for the central defensive positions Charlie has been allowed to join the Valiants until the end of the season.
He is likely to be involved for the first time when Vale play Morecambe at home on Saturday.
