Malachi Heads for Hampton

Oxford United's young winger Malachi Napa has signed for Hampton and Richmond Borough on a month''s loan.

Malachi, 18, signed his first professional contract this summer and made a good impression during pre-season where his pace and skills quickly won over the United fans.

He joins Hampton ahead of their home game against Havant and Waterlooville on Saturday in the National League South.

He becomes the second young player to leave the U's on loan today with goalkeeper Jack Stevens earlier signing for Oxford City until January.
