This follows on from reports last week that the Liverpool player had been offered a two-and-a-half year contract by Oxford manager Pep Clotet, who was the number two at Leeds United last season.
Manager Pep Clotet said on the club’s official website:“Cameron is a player with huge potential and someone that a lot of clubs have been monitoring for a long time.
“He has excellent technique, a good understanding of game and a real hunger to do well. One thing I really liked when I spoke to him was his ambition to play and come here and show people what he can do. We believe that he will be an excellent fit for what we are building here.”
Brannagan was a regular scorer for Liverpool at Under-23s level, where his 71 matches have yielded 13 goals, having the ability to score goals from midfield would be a welcome addition for Clotet’s side.
When Klopp came into the club it looked as though Brannagan would be one of the club’s youth players that could make it at senior level when hemade his full Premier League bow at West Brom on the final day of the 2015/16campaign.
Although he impressed, he has subsequently slipped down the pecking order after making justnine first team appearances.
Brannagan has had a taste of League One previously with an unsuccessful loan spell last season with Fleetwood Town to gain invaluable first team experience.

Upon joining Oxford he said:“It’s sad to be leaving Liverpool after such a long time but this is as really exciting challenge. Oxford play good football and I want to come here, play regular football, and help Oxford as much as I can.”
