Mowbray applauds strong debut
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray was impressed by Andre Bikey's debut performance against Ipswich Town at the weekend.
The Cameroon international was given his first start as the hosts eventually ran out 2-0 winners at the Riverside.
Bikey, 27, recently joined the Teessiders after a successful trial and following previous top-flight experience with the likes of Reading and Burnley.
"He's tremendously strong, different to our other defenders, a huge physical presence and we needed that," Mowbray told BBC Tees. "We were compact and it helped him do what he's good at."
Boro next face a couple of testing trips to Lancashire against early Championship pacesetters Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers this week.
