Hand gives Oxford the thumbs-up

Oxford United midfielder Jamie Hand, on loan from Lincoln, says he is keen to make the switch permanent.

Hand has been in fine form for the U's of late and told BBC Oxford: "It's a performance that I know I am capable of week-in week-out.

"I am enjoying my football and I'm happy. I will be giving my all until the end of the season.

"It's a club I am very fond of, but we will sit down at the end of the season and take it from there."
