THE Oxford Mail understand Oxford City Stars are very close to bringing in new faces in the next couple of weeks.

The English National League South Division 1 side are hoping to sign two players from a division below to cover injuries short-term.

But Stars are also expecting to announce some fresh permanent signings, to fill the gaps left by Jamie Newton and Michal Tomasik, who left the club at the start of the month.

The Stars, without a game this weekend, are hoping the break will allow some of their injured players to recover.
