Oxford United have made their first addition of the January transfer window with the arrival of forward, Tyler Burey.
The 23-year-old was linked with a move to the club in the summer but left Millwall to join Danish side Odense for an undisclosed fee.
The forward, who can play anywhere across the front three, joins the U’s on loan until the end of the season.
Burey netted three goals in 58 appearances during his time at the Den, but 43 of those came as a substitute.
Head coach Des Buckingham told the club website: “He is an exciting player to watch.
“He is quick, loves to take players on, and fills an important position within the squad. There were plenty of other clubs interested in him and we’re really pleased that he chose Oxford.”
Burey added: “I’m very excited and I’m delighted to get it over the line, and I’m just ready to go now.
“I heard the interest in the New Year and then I had to be on my toes to wait for a call to fly over.
“The club are pushing to do well, so for me, it’s about coming in, and adding something to that, and embracing everything that’s going on.
“I visited the club in the summer, and the style of play, it was a no-brainer for me.
“I like the way Oxford play and it will suit my game. The gaffer explained where the club is at right now and where he wants to take it, and I want to play a role in that.
“They are in a great position in the league and there are some really good players here – I can’t wait to get started.”
U’s head of recruitment Ed Waldron said: “He is a player who has been on our radar for a couple of years at least, and that continued in Denmark.
“He stretches the game with his pace and has good delivery so we hope he comes in, makes an instant impact and plays a part in a successful second half of the season.”
