West Ham United striker Robbie Hall has returned to Oxford United on an initial one-month loan deal, with a view for an extended stay. Hall, only 18 years old, was in prolific form for the Us in his initial loan spell scoring six goals in 10 appearances since joining in early September. Hall was brought to Grenoble Road by Chris Wilder following injuries to fellow forwards Tom Craddock and Jonathan Franks, who both are now fully fit.

Robbie returned to his parent club in late October following an injury crisis at Upton Park, which saw Hall take his place on the Hammers' bench during the Division Two clash against Bristol City.

Since being back at West Ham, Hall has scored the winning goal in an England U19 international against Denmark at Brighton and Hove Albion
