Hall, who can play both through the middle and on the wing, previously spent time on loan at the Kassam as a 17-year-old in 2011 and has fond memories of the club and their fans.

Oxford begin a season in the third tier of English for the first time in 16 years, and Appleton will be hoping the 22-year olds experience of higher divisions will hold him in good stead when he does return.
