Defender settling in well
Defender George Friend says he is really enjoying the experience at Middlesbrough since arriving from Doncaster Rovers over the summer.
The 25-year-old came in mainly as a centre-back who was capable of operating in the full-back position. But the subsequent departure of the highly-rated Joe Bennett to Aston Villa for £3m in August provided an immediate opening which he duly accepted.
"I am really enjoying this position," Friend admitted to the Northern Echo. "When I first came I told the manager that I do like centre-back as well, but I am really liking this now.
"The opportunity came along when Joe was injured and then left, hopefully I have shown what I can do to the manager and I don't want to come out of there right now," he added. "I am really enjoying setting up goals and things, so the manager can keep playing me there as long as he wants to."
