Craig Farrell Joins Oxford United on Loan
With 19 year-old Ricky Sappleton having returned to Leicester after a one month spell with Oxford; Craig Farrell has been brought in on loan from York City until the end of the season.
The striker is expected to make his debut against Lewes on February 1st, and will be hoping to gain first team football with Oxford that he has not been guaranteed with York. Farrell has been with York since August 2006, and has so far scored 21 goals in 73 league starts for the club.
Oxford’s top scorer James Constable is out for the Lewes game and will therefore not be starting up front with Farrell; he’ll still be hoping to make a good first impression though, and will be looking to establish himself in the Oxford United first team with plenty of goals over the coming weeks and months.
In the last ten home games at the Kassam Stadium, Oxford United have won nine and drawn one; with Lewes currently sitting second bottom, Oxford will surely be confident of adding to their tally with another home win.
