Stevenage have signed youngster Jacob Bancroft from National League South side Oxford City.

The 19-year-old, who was released by Swindon in September, has caught the eye of manager Alex Revell.

“Jacob is a young and exciting prospect. He has shown in the National League South that he has talent,” Revell told the club’s official website.

“As a football club we need to develop that talent and help him further his career as a professional footballer. We are excited to work with him and see where the journey takes us.”

Bancroft added: “My only goals are to work as hard as I can, to help the team and to do my best every time I get on the pitch. I will take every opportunity I get.”

Defender Luis Fernandez has gone in the opposite direction, rejoining Oxford on loan until the end of the season.
