Oxford United are delighted to announce the signing of forward Myles Peart-Harris from Brentford on a deal until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old, who recently played in the Premier League in a 4-2 win over Everton, is a dynamic and direct attacker with over 75 senior appearances across the Championship and League One.
Having come through the Chelsea Academy, he has previously enjoyed spells with Forest Green Rovers and Portsmouth in League One, before spending last season in the Championship with Swansea City, where he made 30 appearances and contributed seven goal involvements.
Peart-Harris signs in time to be available for tonight’s FA Cup Third Round tie away to MK Dons.
Speaking after completing his move, he said: “I can’t wait to get started and make my mark.
“It’s a short-term deal, but this is a great opportunity for me to show my qualities and make a real impact in the Championship.
“I enjoy scoring goals and creating chances, but I also pride myself on working hard for the team. I’ve had a lot of different experiences for my age, from academy football at Chelsea to playing regularly at this level last season, and I feel ready to come in and deliver for this Club.
“I’m really looking forward to being involved straight away and competing for my place.”
Head of Football Operations, Ed Waldron, said: “Myles is a very direct player with the fitness, pace and intelligence to make an immediate impact. He gives us real attacking threat and versatility in the final third and, importantly, has a work ethic and mentality we value.
“Although he is still young, Myles brings proven experience at Championship level and has already shown he can influence games in this division. We believe this is an excellent opportunity for both the player and the Club.
“He is hungry to succeed, ready to contribute straight away and adds important competition and depth to our attacking options as we move into a crucial period of the season.”
