Two of Oxford United’s youngsters will have the opportunity to gain experience while on loan for the next month.
Winger Tyler Goodrham has joined Slough Town on loan while right-back Ben Watt is to join St Ives Town on a similar deal.
Tyler enjoyed a successful loan spell at Hayes & Yeading earlier in the season and now gets a chance to impress in the National League South, although he is cup tied for their FA Trophy game at home to Eastbourne Borough at the weekend. He is instead expected to be involved for the game at Oxford City on Boxing Day.
Ben joins St Ives after a similar loan at Straford Town earlier in the season. However he will not be immediately linking up with United keeper Mackenzie Chapman after he broke a bone in his hand last weekend while on loan at the same club.
