HEREFORD FC have sent Joel Dielna on loan for a month to Oxford City after failing to play regularly at Edgar Street.

The 28-year-old, French, left-sided player only signed for the Bulls two months ago but has struggled to get a starting place in the Hereford side with some rare substitute appearances.

Oxford currently sit 13th in the National League South.

Head of Football Tim Harris said: ““Joel came in looking to provide some competition and cover for the left side of defence and midfield.

“We are hoping that the chance for him to get four or five games under his belt within a month at Oxford will be good for both us and him.”
