Oxford's Prelec departs after less than two years

Oxford United have announced that forward Nik Prelec has left the club to join Polish team Jagiellonia Białystok for an undisclosed fee.

The U's signed the Slovenian striker initially on loan in the summer of 2025 before triggering an option to make the deal permanent in February of last season.

The 25-year-old went on to make 25 appearances for Oxford, scoring on one occasion.

It will be unlikely that the U's will be able to add to their squad this summer after being placed under a transfer embargo by the English Football League on Thursday.

Oxford said that they hope to have the embargo lifted by the January transfer window and that their focus for the summer remains on maintaining the current group of players.
