Oxford United have lost striker Ole Romeny for the 2026/2027 season after Fortuna Sittard secured the Indonesian international on loan. The move comes as Oxford United sit 22nd in the Championship with 47 points from 46 games and recent form of LWLLW.
What happened to Ole Romeny at Oxford United?
Romeny joined Oxford United in January 2025 from FC Utrecht but struggled to replicate his earlier form. He managed just one goal in 32 games for the U's, with that solitary strike coming in the final 14 games of the 2024/2025 season. Last season he played 18 times without finding the net, leaving his overall record at the Kassam Stadium at one goal in 32 appearances.
Why Fortuna Sittard signed Romeny
Fortuna Sittard hope Romeny can rediscover his goalscoring touch after losing Kaj Sierhuis this summer. The Eredivisie side have taken the Indonesian on loan for the 2026/2027 season without a future purchase option agreed. Romeny’s best Eredivisie return came in 2022/2023 with FC Emmen, where he scored 12 goals in 39 games before moving to Utrecht.
What’s next for Oxford United?
Oxford United sit 48 points behind league leaders Coventry with 45 goals scored and 59 conceded this season. Their next fixture is an away trip to Burton Albion on 20 February 2027. The club’s recent form of LWLLW leaves them in a tight relegation battle as they aim to turn things around after a difficult campaign.
