Middlesbrough midfielder signs new deal as club tie down academy prospects

Teenage midfielder Isiah Cornet, 18, has put pen to paper after completing a successful third year as a scholar.

The Frenchman joined Boro in 2018 from amateur French club US Torcy following a successful trial on Teesside.

Since then, Cornet has become a regular for Boro’s under-23s side.

The news comes after defender Jack Robinson 19, signed a new two-year deal with the club.

Robinson told the Boro’s website: “I've been here since I was an Under-12, so to add to that is a great feeling.

"Ever since I was a kid I've been going to the games, I've had season tickets, and watching the likes of Ben Gibson - that's what I aspire to and where I want to be.

"It's been a great experience training with the senior players and to make my debut even for a few minutes was a dream come true.”
