Oxford United manager Jim Smith says that he may have only seen loan signing Kieron St Aimie train once, but has already been won over by his enthusiasm.

The 18-year-old Queens Park Rangers midfielder has signed a two-month loan deal with the U's and is set for his debut against Rushden tomorrow.

He links up with Loftus Road teammate Stefan Bailey, who joined earlier this month.

The duo stayed behind after training yesterday to work on shooting, and Smith said that although he hadn't seen much of St Aimie, he has made a good impression.

"We had obviously heard about him and had good reports on him," Smith said.

"But you can see that he is a young lad who wants to learn and wants to improve.

"It's great to see such enthusiasm.

"He is strong, quick and I hope he will prove to be a good signing for us."
