Oxford United have signed their third forward in three days after securing the services of Colchester United's Jamie Guy on a season-long loan.

The move for the 20-year-old former Cambridge and Gravesend striker follows Oxford's capture of Lewis Haldane and James Constable on similar deals.

Boss Darren Patterson said: �Jamie is a player I have admired for a long time.

"He has always excelled against our reserves and he's looked the part at first-team level as well."

Patterson added: "He has a great work-rate, scores goals and with James Constable and Yemi already here we have good options up front."

Guy had previously been linked with a move to Crewe.
