Oxford United are delighted to announce the signing of Ruben Roosken on loan from Huddersfield Town. The agreement includes an option to buy, which will become an obligation should certain conditions be met.
The 25-year-old joins the U’s after making 40 appearances in all competitions for Huddersfield Town since signing in January 2025. Prior to his move to England, Roosken played in the Netherlands featuring 48 times in the Eredivisie.
An attack-minded left-back, Roosken will watch tomorrow evening’s fixture against Sheffield United from the stands before linking up with his new teammates in training later this week.
Speaking after completing his move, Roosken said: “This is a really exciting move for me and one I can’t wait to get started on. I’m an ambitious player and I’ve come to Oxford United with a real desire to help bring success this season and beyond. I want to contribute quality, embrace the challenge, and help the Club immediately.”
Head Coach Matt Bloomfield added: “We’re delighted to welcome Ruben to the squad. He brings real dynamism, energy and athleticism, along with excellent quality on the ball. He fits the profile we’re looking for and will add fresh impetus to the group. I’m looking forward to working with him on the training ground.”
Head of Football Operations Ed Waldron said: “Ruben is a player we’ve monitored for a long time, having closely followed his development in the Dutch leagues with Heracles. His move to Huddersfield allowed us to track his progress more closely, and he has adapted to English football extremely well over the past year. He brings strong experience at a good age, and we’re confident he can make an immediate impact.”
