    Rob Edwards has not lost any of his first five league games as Boro boss at the Riverside Stadium

    Head coach Rob Edwards loved watching his Middlesbrough side defeat Ipswich Town as they returned to the top of the Championship.

    The 2-1 victory at the Riverside saw them leapfrog Coventry City into first place and ended a three-game spell without a win.

    Boro had failed to score in two of those and it had raised a few questions after their excellent early season form.

    So Edwards was delighted with how his players responded to beat the pre-season favourites for promotion.

    "I loved us tonight," he told BBC Radio Tees.

    "The energy, the intensity, the work-rate, the desire to win the ball back, the blocks. I loved that, that side of us was great. We carried a threat and we scored a magnificent second goal.

    "I'm really proud of the lads and I feel privileged to be part of this because I think it was a really good game.

    "We dropped a few points, one or two questions were asked and we've delivered and answered them. But what we've got to do is be consistent and keep that going."

  8. Middlesbrough unveil 150th anniversary crest

    Middlesbrough unveil new club crest

    Middlesbrough have unveiled their new crest which will be used from next season onwards.

    The Teesside club have also launched a special crest specifically for the 2026-27 campaign, that will feature a 150 year Ayresome Park gates inspired addition to the logo to celebrate their inception in 1976.

    The new badge has been restored back to a circle, a design that hasn't been permanent on a Boro kit since 2007.

    The design process began in March 2024, before 21,000 supporters were asked for their help in designing the badge to represent their club.

    The crest's designer Andrew Patterson spoke to BBC Radio Tees about some of the subtle local features in the new design.

    "Going on what fans asked for there was a desire to get some of the local sites into the crest somehow," Patterson said.

    "So it was quite nice to subtly bring in the Roseberry Topping element into the lion's mane which is the negative space that sits between the lion's mane and his body, so that profile of Roseberry Topping is in there.

    "Also the shape of the River Tees, where our home, where our ground is at the Riverside Stadium. The shape of that is in the lions tongue, so you can see the meanders of the river at that point is brought into the tongue."

    The new badge is set to be in use from June 2026 onwards.

  9. Edwards looking to unlock more Boro creativity

    Rob Edwards' Middlesbrough have collected 18 points from their opening nine games

    Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards says he is looking to increase his side's attacking potential as the Championship returns on Friday.

    Boro host Ipswich Town (20:00 BST) as they try to respond to their first defeat of the season at Portsmouth last time out.

    That loss knocked them off the top of the table with Coventry City overtaking them, while it was also a second consecutive game without a goal.

    Boro have the joint-best defensive record in the division with only six conceded in nine matches, but it is at the top end where Edwards wants more.

    "We've been very solid, one of the best in the league, which is great and everyone needs a solid foundation," the ex-Luton Town boss told BBC Radio Tees.

    "Then we want to find that balance between maintaining that and obviously creating a little bit more.

    "In recent games that has been a little bit more challenging."

    Middlesbrough had a busy transfer window with 11 new players joining the club.

    In attack, they have included Slovakia striker David Strelec, Senegalese forward Kaly Sene and winger Sontje Hansen, who has just made his debut for Curacao, with all three new to English football.

    Sene has scored twice, and the other two one each, but Edwards understands that the trio are still settling in to the environment.

    "It's not going to be click the fingers and things are perfect straight away," he said. "People have got to build up a rapport, they've got to understand each other's games.

    "That will still take some time, there's no doubt about it."

    Middlesbrough midfielder Sverre Nypan made his Norway debut in a 1-1 friendly draw with New Zealand in Oslo on Tuesday.

    The 18-year-old appeared as an 81st-minute substitute after Norway had been forced to come from behind to earn a draw.

    Nypan was only called into the squad on Monday, having captained his country's under-21 side in a 4-1 defeat by Spain last Friday.

    He will now travel back to England to help Middlesbrough prepare for their return to Championship action at home to Ipswich on Friday, 17 October (20:00 BST).

    Middlesbrough midfielder Sverre Nypan has been called into Norway's senior squad for the first time in his career.

    The 18-year-old has stepped up from the under-21 squad for Tuesday's friendly with New Zealand in Oslo.

    Nypan, who is on a season-long loan at Middlesbrough from Manchester City, captained Norway's Under-21s in a 4-1 defeat by Spain last Friday.

    The midfielder has started two Championship matches for Rob Edwards' side since moving to Teesside in August, having joined City from Rosenborg in a deal worth £12.5m in July.

  23. 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."
