Oxford's head coach, Des Buckingham, praised Scarlett's pace and intelligence, emphasizing the importance of his contribution to the team's attacking strategy. Scarlett's impressive youth record, including 29 goals in 42 youth games and his role in England's Under-19 European Championship victory, highlights his potential. This move is seen as a crucial step in Scarlett's development, allowing him to gain valuable first-team experience in a competitive environment. Oxford aims to strengthen their squad with this acquisition as they look to establish themselves in the Championship.
