Patrick Roberts: Manchester City loan winger to Middlesbrough until end of the season


Patrick Roberts had a frustrating spell at Norwich, where game-time was limited

Manchester City have loaned winger Patrick Roberts to Middlesbrough for the rest of the Championship season.

Roberts had been on loan to Premier League rivals Norwich City but made only four appearances this term, and was subsequently recalled.

The 22-year-old has also been on loan to Celtic and Girona since joining City from Fulham in July 2015.

“He’s an exciting player, he wants to play, and he has the bit between his teeth,” boss Jonathan Woodgate said.
