  7. 'Another Howson is hard to find' - Maddison

    Jonny Howson leaves Boro after eight years

    Former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison said that Jonny Howson will be "a big miss" after his departure from the club.

    The defensive midfielder was not given a new deal after the conclusion of his contract last season, bringing an end to his eight-year tenure with the club.

    "When Jonny was in the side, you felt more comfortable. When you were going through a bad run and he comes into the side, it all disappears. You seem to be a better side," Maddison told BBC Radio Tees.

    "Those players are hard to find.

    "I think he'll be sorely missed, certainly in terms of galvanising the team when they need to try and get that win or try to get back into the game. He was a perfect fit for the team."

    As far as whether age was catching up to the veteran, Maddison added: "Even at the ripe old age of 37, I still think he can perform and he can fill in positions as well. Those players are important.

    "I still felt he had a little bit to offer."

  10. Hackney is 'fully committed' to Boro - Edwards

    Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards says midfielder Hayden Hackney is "fully committed" to the club despite being linked with a number of Premier League teams.

    The 23-year-old England Under-21 international featured in Boro's 3-3 pre-season draw at Mansfield Town on Saturday.

    "As far as I know and I'm aware at the moment, he's here and that's why he's out playing on the pitch," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees.

    "He's fully committed, he loves this football club."

    Another player who featured during the match was defender Darragh Lenihan, making his return to competitive football after almost two years out.

    The Republic of Ireland international, capped four times by his country, has not featured since September 2023 after undergoing ankle surgery and Edwards is handling the 31-year-old's comeback with caution.

    "He's getting there so we will keep building up the minutes," Edwards added.

    "He's in a position where we are still always looking at what he's doing and trying to manage it but he wants to do everything.

    "It's important we try to make some good decisions to try to keep him out there. It'll be a huge plus for us having a fit Darragh Lenihan."
