theglobalsun – Oxford United have signed Brentford attacking midfielder Myles Peart-Harris on a short-term contract until the end of the season. The 23-year-old arrives as the Championship club look to strengthen their attacking options during a difficult campaign. The signing was confirmed through an official statement on the club website.
Peart-Harris joins with recent experience across multiple levels of English football. Last season, he made 30 appearances for Swansea City in the Championship. During that spell, he scored four goals and provided three assists. He has also previously spent time on loan at Forest Green Rovers and Portsmouth.
The midfielder recently made his fourth Premier League appearance for Brentford. He came on as a late substitute in a 4-2 victory over Everton. His move to Oxford has been completed in time for him to be available. He could feature in Friday’s FA Cup third-round tie away to MK Dons.
Short-Term Deal Targets Championship Survival Push
Oxford United currently sit 23rd in the Championship standings. The club are three points adrift of safety as the season enters a decisive phase. The U’s are the joint fourth lowest scorers in the division with 25 goals. Improving attacking output remains a clear priority.
Peart-Harris expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity. He told the club website, “I can’t wait to get started and make my mark.” He acknowledged the short-term nature of the agreement. However, he emphasized the importance of making an immediate contribution.
“It’s a short-term deal, but this is a great opportunity for me to show my qualities and make a real impact in the Championship,” he said. The midfielder underlined his attacking intent and commitment to team play. “I enjoy scoring goals and creating chances, but I also pride myself on working hard for the team.”
His comments reflect both ambition and awareness of the challenge ahead. Oxford require consistent performances to close the gap to safety. Attacking creativity and energy could prove decisive in tight matches.
Club Leadership Highlights Directness and Versatility
Head of football operations Ed Waldron outlined the club’s assessment of the signing. He described Peart-Harris as a direct player with fitness, pace and intelligence. Waldron stated that the midfielder has the qualities to make an immediate impact. The club believes he can add threat in the final third.
Waldron also emphasized the player’s mentality and work ethic. Those attributes are viewed as essential during a relegation battle. The ability to contribute defensively while creating attacking opportunities is highly valued. The short-term structure allows both parties to assess long-term potential.
Peart-Harris’ prior Championship experience with Swansea may ease his integration. He understands the physical and tactical demands of the division. His versatility allows him to operate across attacking midfield positions.
Oxford face a challenging schedule in the coming weeks. Points will be crucial as they attempt to move out of the relegation zone. The signing represents a targeted effort to address attacking shortcomings. His performances in the remainder of the season could influence the club’s survival prospects.
