A trial in pre-season with Oxford led to him earning a month to month deal with the hope of a longer term deal should he proved to be a success at the Kassam Stadium. He made his debut for Oxford in a 1-0 home win against Forest Green on the opening day of the season, the first of nine appearances.
He was in the side that lost 3-1 at Droylsden on Saturday but was substituted at half time after a disappointing 45 minutes, and this proved to be his last game for the former league club and this morning they have decided not to extend his contract further.
Manager Jim Smith said this morning: "We are on a tight rein here and with Chris Willmott now fit again, and Phil Gilchrist almost there, we have cover in that area. In all fairness it just hasn't happened for Arthur here at Oxford but he is a super lad and we wish him well for the future."
