Friend has scored three goals for Middlesbrough in his 85 games for the club

George Friend has signed a new four-year contract at Middlesbrough.

The former Wolves and Exeter City defender has made 85 appearances for the club since moving to the Riverside from Doncaster Rovers in July 2012.

The 26-year-old was named Boro's Player of the Year last season as they finished 12th in the Championship.

"I really love this club and I'm delighted that I can dedicate myself for the longer-term," Friend told the club website on signing his new deal.

"It's been a great move for me, coming here. I couldn't be much further from where I was born, but I feel so at home here," added the Devon-born defender.
