Joshua James "Josh" Payne (born 25 November 1990) is an English football player who currently plays for Oxford United.

Early life

Payne was born in Basingstoke and grew up there for the first part of his life. He attended Brighton Hill Community College.

Club career

Payne began his career with Portsmouth and Southampton[3] before moving to West Ham. He was named as 2008–09 captain of the West Ham Under 18 team,[4][5] but joined Cheltenham Town on an initial one month loan on 24 September 2008.[6][7] He made his debut for Cheltenham against Stockport County on 27 September 2008, scoring a goal in the 66th minute.[8][9] Payne's loan with Cheltenham Town lasted 3 months before he returned to West Ham United on 22 December 2008.[10] Payne made his West Ham and Premier League debut on 21 March 2009 in a 1–1 away draw against Blackburn Rovers coming on as a 90th minute substitute for Diego Tristán.[11]

On 22 October 2009 Payne signed for Colchester United on a one-month loan.[12] Payne made his debut for Colchester on 24 October 2009 in a 2–1 home victory against Walsall being fouled for a penalty which resulted in Colchester's second and winning goal.[13] Payne returned to West Ham on 20 November, having played only 3 games for Colchester, as manager Aidy Boothroyd decided not to extend his loan.[14]

On 22 January 2010 Wycombe Wanderers confirmed they had signed Payne on an initial one month loan.[15] Payne made his debut for Wycombe on 23 January scoring in a 1–1 away draw against Southend United.[16]

He returned to West Ham on 25 February 2010.[17] In March 2010 it was announced that Payne's contract with West Ham would not be renewed beyond the end of the 2009–10 season.[18]

On 28 July 2010, Payne signed for Doncaster Rovers on an initial six-months contract after a successful trial period at the club.[19] He made his Rovers debut in the Carling Cup tie against Accrington Stanley on 10 August 2010, scoring his first and Doncaster's only goal in a 2–1 defeat.[20]

On 31 August 2010 Payne joined Oxford United on a one-month loan deal, which was then extended for another three months. Payne subsequently signed a pre-contract agreement with Oxford, making the move permanent.[21][22][23]
