  1. Boro has given me so much - Howson

    Howson: 'My kids sing Boro songs'

    Former Middlesbrough midfielder Jonny Howson says his move into coaching is a chance to "give something back" after leaving Middlesbrough this summer.

    The 37-year-old, who spent eight years at the Riverside, was not offered a new contract by Boro boss Rob Edwards and has now taken a player-coaching role with former club Leeds United's Under-21s side.

    However, while Howson may no longer wear Boro colours, his fondness for the Teesside club remains.

    "Here at Middlesbrough, it's where my kids have seen me playing most. I've spent a lot of time here," the former Boro captain told BBC Radio Tees.

    "We still watch the games now. There were a lot of times when I would have played at the Riverside and we'd go back home, play football in the living room with the kids and they're singing the songs that the fans have been cheering and sometimes the fans sang for me.

    "This is my chance trying to give something back because this club has given me so much."

    Listen to the full interview with Howson and more Middlesbrough content on BBC Sounds.
