Albion midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey has joined Oxford United on a six-month loan.

The 18-year-old, who recently signed a new three-year contract with the Seagulls, will be with the League Two club until January.

A number of clubs were interested in taking the England under-18 international on loan. Albion boss Gus Poyet believes the move will further develop a player he rates highly.
