OXFORD United loanee Giorgio Rasulo has been shortlisted for the League One Apprentice of the Year at the Football League Awards.

The Banbury-born midfielder, 18, joined the U’s on a short-term deal from parent club MK Dons last month.

Rasulo is highly-rated, but opportunities since have been limited to one brief cameo in last weekend’s goalless draw against Plymouth Argyle.

The award recognises outstanding young professionals at Football League clubs who excel on and off the pitch.

Rasulo is up against Crewe Alexandra’s George Cooper and Louis Reed, from Sheffield United, with the winner announced at a ceremony on April 19.
