Worley makes U`s switch

Oxford have completed the signing of defender Harry Worley on a three-year deal. The 21-year-old was part of Chelsea`s squad between 2005 and 2008 but a lack of first-team action saw him loaned out before making the move to Leicester. Last year he spent the season on loan at Crewe, playing 22 times, and now signs for newly-promoted Oxford on a permanent deal. Worley told the club's official website: "I'm really excited to have signed for Oxford United. "I followed the club a bit last season and I know there's a real buzz going on around the place so I'm happy to be a part of that. I know that I'll face a tough battle to get into the side but I'm prepared for that and look forward to showing people what I can do." U's manager Chris Wilder shares Worley's enthusiasm, saying: "We're pleased to have signed Harry on a contract for the next three years. He's got a good CV and a fantastic pedigree that we feel will stand him in good stead."
