West Ham defender Reece Oxford will return to Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old, who can also play in midfield, made four appearances for Gladbach in the first half of the campaign before being recalled by the Hammers at the back end of last month.

He featured in three matches for his parent club but it was confirmed that he would go back to Borussia-Park for the remainder of the campaign.

“We’re happy that we’ve managed to get Reece back on board,” said Borussia’s sporting director Max Eberl on the club’s official website.

“He showed his huge potential at just before the winter break and we’re confident that he will be able to help us throughout the rest of the season.”
