Martin Carruthers, manager of Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Premier Division club Basford United, secured the services of striker Rev James from League One side Oxford United on a month`s loan ahead of Christmas.
With top scorer Liam Hearn breaking down recently, Carruthers has moved swiftly to cover the loss for the busy festive campaign.
James, a Nottingham-born first-year pro at the Kassam Stadium, comes to Basford for an initial month with the possibly the option of an extension.
James has been involved at a professional level from graduating from a two-year scholarship at Rotherham to securing a professional deal at Oxford.
