Middlesbrough have appointed Graeme Carrick as first-teach coach.

The 39-year-old is the younger brother of Boro first-team coach Michael Carrick and has spent the past two years in charge of Newcastle's Under-18 side.

He first joined Newcastle in 2005 after his playing career was cut short by injury, and returned to the club in 2022 after 15 years working for the Football Association.

His arrival at the Riverside Stadium follows Aaron Danks' recent departure from Boro to join Bayern Munich.
