  2. Edwards helped convince Sene to sign for Boro

    Sene: 'Very proud' to play for Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough forward Kaly Sene says it was boss Rob Edwards who convinced him to sign for the club in August.

    Though the 24-year-old admits he "doesn't like to watch football," he says that he did know about Boro's reputation before signing the paperwork and it was a conversation with Edwards that helped seal his move from Lausanne-Sport.

    "I know they were in the Premier League before so it was a big club and is a big club in this moment, so when the coach called me, we had a good conversation. It is because of this I signed here," Sene told BBC Radio Tees.

    "I was very happy when he called me and we talked together.

    "For me, it's very important to have a coach who believes in you and tries to put you in the best way, helps you to be better. He's doing this not just with me but with all the team."

    The Senegalese striker joined Boro having already scored six goals in Switzerland this season and has netted his first for Middlesbrough during their 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Friday.

    "The win is most important and then the goal, so if we score and then we win, I will be more happy," he added.

    "So for me, it was a very good night and yes, I'm proud to score this first goal at home."

    Rob Edwards has won five and drawn one of his first six games in charge of Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards praised his side's resilience as a cornerstone of their victory over West Bromwich Albion.

    First Boro goals for forwards David Strelec and Kaly Sene won the game in a match in which West Brom had more possession and more shots.

    The three points secured a four-point lead at the top of the Championship as Boro made it 16 points from a possible 18 - the Teesside club's best ever start to a league season.

    "It was a really good night for us in the end," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees.

    "It was a very tough game as you knew it was going to be. They're a very good team, Ryan's doing a very good job and they have good players, but we showed a lot of resilience tonight and that really pleased me.

    "We had to show another side to ourselves. We've got lads still getting up to speed with English football and what we're doing and hopefully we're going to continue to improve as it goes on.

    "We've not found our level yet and that is the exciting thing."
