Oxford United loan West Bromwich Albion attacker

Oxford United boss Michael Appleton is confident that Kemar Roofe can make an impact at the Kassam Stadium after he joined the club on a one-month loan deal from West Bromwich Albion.

Roofe, who can play in a number of positions in attack, made three substitute appearances at Colchester United earlier this season, but Appleton has hinted that the 22-year-old will earn regular action with the League Two outfit.

The 39-year-old told the club's official website: "Kemar is someone who has been on a lot of club's radar for a while because he likes to get on the ball and make things happen up front.

"I worked with him during my time at West Brom and he has a great attitude as well as being a really good player."

Roofe joins Oxford with the club in 17th position in the league table.
