The 19-year-old made two first team starts for the League Two side last season and is highly rated at the Kassam Stadium.

The midfielder graduated from the Oxford youth set-up and signed a professional contract in February of last year.

He will sign on a one month loan and, subject to paperwork, will be available for Rob Smith's side trip to AFC Fylde on Saturday.

Oxford boss and former Albion man Michael Appleton said: "Josh is very much one for the future. Going out to play regular competitive football is an important step in his progression."
