It’s not been great going for the Middlesbrough fans in the Transfer Tavern of late, who’ve watched their side fall closer and closer into the relegation zone after a poor run of results.
Now sitting above the bottom three only on goal difference, those on Teeside are facing a nervous end to the campaign and Aitor Karanka is certainly looking like a man under pressure right now. Still, there’s been some good news at last arriving for the Boro fans in the bar.
They club confirmed today popular midfielder Adam Clayton has signed a new deal in the North East, taking his deal up until 2021. The 26-year-old has been an influential figure in their engine room this term, scoring seven goals in 28 appearances.
Amongst our punters, the former Huddersfield Town ace is one of the most popular players, due to his industry in the middle of the park and will no doubt play a huge role in their battle with the drop. With that in mind, here’s how Twitter reacted.
Fully Fully FULLY deserved @Clayts15 #UTB
