Boro defender rejoins Robins

Middlesbrough centre-back Stephen McManus has rejoined Championship rivals Bristol City on a three-month loan.

The 30-year-old previously spent six weeks serving under fellow Scot Derek McInness at Ashton Gate on a similar arrangement last season.

"Stephen is experienced at Championship level, has battling qualities, defends his box and can be the first-ball winner," McInnes told the Robins' official website. "He'll be very dominant and a good professional to have about the place.

"This position is one we've been looking to strengthen for some time and it's great we've got someone who can come in, is desperate to play and also knows all about us too."

McManus has managed three appearances for Boro this season but has fallen well down the pecking order following the recent arrivals of Jonathan Woodgate and Andre Bikey.
