Oxford United have signed experienced midfielder Paul Evans on a short-term contract until January

The former Nottingham Forest and Swindon man was a free agent after leaving Bradford City in the summer.

The 34-year-old will go straight into the squad for the game at Kidderminster Harriers, and he told BBC Oxford he is looking forward to the challenge.

"It's a big club," he said. "Obviously it isn't where everyone wants it to be. I am just looking forward to playing."
