In February 2014 he moved on loan to Havant & Waterlooville,[9] where he made 18 league appearances.[2]
In October 2014 he moved on loan to Welling United.[2]
He was released by Bournemouth at the end of the 2014–15 season,[10] and joined Oxford United in September 2015.[11]
On 6 October 2015, he made his debut for Oxford United in a 2–0 win against close rivals Swindon Town in the JPT Cup.[12]
