Donley started the season on loan at Stoke City where he made six appearances and registered one assist before being recently recalled.

He has played four times for the Tottenham first team after coming through the club's youth ranks and also he had a spell on loan at Leyton Orient last season.

Despite playing for the England youth sides early on in his career, the 20-year-old represents Northern Ireland and has six international caps and a goal since his debut in early 2025.

"I want to influence games and be decisive in the final third, but that all starts with hard work. I take real pride in working for the team and doing the basics right," Donley told the club website.

"My loan experiences have taught me a lot. I've had big highs and challenging moments but those are what shape you as a player. I feel ready to come here, compete, and show what I can bring"

Donley is eligible to make his U's debut in their next Championship match against Sheffield United on Sunday (12:00 GMT).
