JUNIOR Brown agreed a loan move away from Oxford United minutes before the loan window closed this afternoon.

The 25-year-old has joined Mansfield Town until the start of January, while Farnborough signed United youth team full back Freddie Grant on work experience.

It completed a busy deadline day for the U’s, who also brought in Jarrow Roofing striker John Campbell and Bristol City’s Wes Burns.

Brown joined this summer after Fleetwood Town agreed to terminate his contract early.

The winger began the season as a regular, but has fallen out of favour and has made just one brief substitute appearance since starting the 5-1 defeat at Cambridge United seven weeks ago.

It is the second spell out on loan for Grant, who spent time at Margate earlier this season.
