Ravel Morrison has completed his move from Sheffield United to Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old playmaker joined the Blades on a one-year deal in the summer but has made just one Premier League appearance since the switch.

Boro were keen to add another playmaker to their squad after Patrick Roberts suffered a hamstring injury in the 1-1 draw with Birmingham last time out.

Speaking to Boro’s official website, head coach Jonathan Woodgate said: “Ravel is a terrific signing for us. He is a real quality player with plenty of experience, and will give us something different to what we have.

“He has a desire to do well and succeed, and that attitude fits in with in well with our ethos here. I met him this week, we had a really good talk, and I think he we will be really good addition to our squad.”
