Romeny joined the U’s in January 2025 from Dutch side Utrecht for a reporter club-record signing, with Oxford going on to secure survival in the Championship under Gary Rowett that season.

The 26-year-old’s game time was limited last season with the forward playing only 16 times in the league, two of which were from the start, thanks to injury and a struggle to break into the team under Matt Bloomfield.

The Indonesia international has played 32 times for United in total during his 18 months at the Kassam, scoring one goal which came in a 3-2 defeat to Coventry City in March 2025.

Romeny is now being linked with a move away from the club with Fortuna Sittard of the Netherlands reportedly offering a route back to his country of birth.

Dutch reporter Mounir Boualin has said that Fortuna’s deal for the Oxford forward is close with a medical scheduled and only the fine details needing to be ironed out.

The journalist had said previously that Romeny is a ‘serious contender’ to bolster the attack of the Dutch outfit.

The forward is an Indonesian international due to his maternal grandmother who, despite being ethnically Dutch, was born in Medan when it was still called the Dutch East Indies.

Oxford United’s owner Erick Thohir is an Indonesian business and Minister of Youth and Sports in Indonesia.

The midfielder left the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer after arriving on a permanent, short-term deal from Premier League side Brentford.

Peart-Harris made 19 appearances for the U’s, bagging three goals, but ultimately suffered relegation with the club under former head coach Matt Bloomfield.

One of 10 names to depart the club for free at the end of last season, the 23-year-old is now in search of a new permanent club.

After spending time in Chelsea’s academy, the former Yellows man joined Brentford in 2021.

He enjoyed three loan spells away from the club, firstly at Forest Green Rovers before spells at Portsmouth and Swansea City.

According to Football League World, the 2002-born man is the subject of interest from the U’s League One rivals Leicester as well as QPR in the Championship.

The two clubs are both ‘on alert’ and are eyeing up moves for the former Yellow who will surely be looking to win a move as high up the football pyramid as he can.

QPR finished comfortably in 15th position in the second tier whilst the Foxes were relegated alongside Oxford, finishing the season in 23rd.

Placheta left the U’s this summer at the end of his contract as one of 10 players to depart the club for free.

Rumours circulated over a move to the United States of America, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup is currently being held, back in April.

The Texas-based outfit have now confirmed the signing of the Polish wide man on a three-year deal with an option for an extra year.

The 28-year-old signed the agreement back in March and will be eligible to make his Austin FC debut when the regular MLS season returns on July 22.

Placheta joined Oxford in 2024 after leaving Championship side Swansea City when his contract expired and went on to play 60 times for the U’s.

He scored six goals and secured four assists in yellow, including a late winner against now-Premier League side Ipswich Town last season.

The former Norwich City and Birmingham City man spent six seasons in England in total, winning the Championship title and promotion to the Premier League with the Canaries in the 2020/21 campaign.

Upon joining the MLS side, Placheta said: “I’m really excited to begin a new chapter of my career in Austin.

“I can’t wait to make my debut and do everything I can to help the team make a push in the second half of the season.

“I also hope to use everything I learned during my six years in English football to help the team and make a positive impact in MLS.”

The seven-time Poland international is the latest released Oxford player to find a new club.

Striker Will Goodwin recently secured a move to League Two side Gillingham whilst academy product Joshua Johnson moved to Maidenhead United.

Stuart Findlay has permanently joined Scottish Premiership side Hearts and young centre back Stephan Negru has made the rare switch to United’s rivals Swindon Town in the fourth tier.

After Placheta’s departure from OX4 was confirmed, he issued a goodbye statement on his Instagram.

“After two years, the time has come to say goodbye,” he wrote.

“I want to thank everyone connected with the club.

“Thank you for welcoming me and my family from the very beginning and making Oxford feel like home.

“There were beautiful moments and difficult ones too, but for all of them I am sincerely grateful.

“To the fans – thank you for your support, passion and belief throughout everything. Wearing this badge was an honour.

“I wish everyone nothing but success in the future and I truly hope Oxford United will be back in the Championship very soon.”
