Former Ipswich Town loanee has joined Oxford United from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old forward spent the first half of last season with the Blues in the Championship, but he was recalled by Spurs after making 12 appearances, all from the bench.

Scarlett went on to feature six times for Spurs before the end of the 2023/24 campaign. He is contracted with the Premier League side until 2027.

He now joins Des Buckingham team following their 2-0 win at home to Norwich City, which was their first match back in the second tier after winning promotion from League One. 

 

 

Speaking on signing for United, he said: “I’m over the moon to be here and I’m ready to get started.

“The team done really well last season, and I see an opportunity here for myself.

“Oxford for me was the best option to come and prove myself and show what I can do.

“I’m a team player that will look to bring goals and hopefully we can deliver this season.”

Scarlett will link-up with former Town players in Idris El Mizouni, Greg Leigh and Kyle Edwards at the Kassam Stadium.
