Tsun Dai joins Oxford United in transfer deadline day move from Bury as Karl Robinson dubs Hong Kong hopeful ‘exciting prospect’
Winger, 19, signs two-year deal atEnglish League One side and is welcomed by boss Karl Robinson ahead of game against Joey Barton’s Fleetwood Town
League One side Oxford United moved to sign Hong Kong’s Dai Wai-tsun, known in England as Tsun Dai, on Thursday’s transfer deadline day.
The 19-year-old moves to the Kazam Arena from League Two side Bury where he played his first professional campaign last season.
BBC Sport reports that he joins on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
His future at Bury had been described as uncertain at the end of a season which saw him play under three different managers at Gigg Lane as the Shakers failed to stave off relegation to League Two.
Dai had signed a new three-year deal at Bury last summer but found his first team opportunities limited under Chris Lucketti and caretaker Ryan Lowe.
Lowe has now replaced Lucketti as the full-time boss.
The winger played 11 times, scoring once and providing an assist after impressing in preseason last summer.
