Brighton's Jake Wright joins Oxford United on loan
Wright has struggled to break into the Brighton side
Oxford United have signed Brighton defender Jake Wright on loan until the end of the season.
The left-sided centre-back, 23, worked with U's boss Chris Wilder at Halifax and is eager to force himself in the starting line-up at the Kassam Stadium.
"I wasn't playing at Brighton and I want to be playing games," said Wright.
"I am coming to a club that is basically a league club and is going in the right direction. I want to be playing football."
Wilder said: "I had Jake at Halifax and took him out of Bradford City reserves and he was superb for me.
"I think that a lot of the teams that come and play against us play one up front and so it is important that we have that balance coming out with a left-footer."
Wright joined Brighton from Crawley for an undisclosed fee in the summer but has only started six games.
