OXFORD United have signed Ben Davis from Fulham.

The 20-year-old midfielder made one senior appearance for the Sky Bet Championship club and was a regular for their Under 23 side in the last two seasons.

He is now keen to continue his progression at United after signing a two-year deal.

Davis said: “I’m looking forward to playing men’s football.

“It was a huge step up from academy to 23s, so I’m looking forward to taking the next step.

“I have some friends who have moved to League One on loan.

“They say it’s really competitive, similar to the Championship.

“I just aim to work hard and see what I can do for the team.

“Hopefully I can break into the squad, play in front of the fans and bring something to the team.”

Davis made his senior debut in a Carabao Cup defeat to Southampton in August 2019 and played five times for Fulham's Under 23s in the EFL Trophy.

He is the second midfielder to join United in 24 hours, after Herbie Kane arrived on loan from Barnsley yesterday.

The youngster is already well-travelled - he was born in Thailand, moved to Singapore as a child and joined Fulham on a scholarship as a teenager.

Davis became the first Singaporean to sign a professional contract with a Premier League club when he agreed terms in west London in 2018.

He represented Singapore at Under 16 and Under 19 level and was conscripted for national service aged 18, but applied to defer so he could pursue his football career.

This was denied, so when Davis did not report for national service he was considered a defaulter by the country's Ministry of Defence.

In October 2019, he chose to represent Thailand - the country of his birth - and said he had no intention to fulfil national service.

Davis has since played for their Under 23 team.

U's head coach Karl Robinson told the club's official website: “He’s got energy and talent and has been through the system at a terrific club who have a history of helping young players develop.

"As with Mackenzie Chapman who we signed on Friday, Ben has a good attitude, lots of ability and we look forward to working with him and seeing him develop further.”
