The first month of the year can be a difficult time for clubs to improve their squads, yet the Teessiders have completed some good business in recent times. We’ve taken a look at the last four January transfer windows to rank Boro’s recent signings. Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see them:
9. Jordan Rhodes (2016) - 6/10
It's hard to judge the striker's spell at Boro as he never really received a chance following the club's promotion to the Premier League. Rhodes did score some important goals to help the Teessiders win promotion though. 6/10 Photo: Michael Steele
10. Ritchie De Laet (2016) - 6/10
Signed on loan until the end of the season, the Belgian defender was a solid operator and did a job at both centre-back and full-back. 6/10 Photo: Pete Norton
11. Julien De Sart (2016) - 2/10
A player who was signed for the future but never managed to break into Boro's first team. De Sart made just three appearances for the Teessiders in all competitions before leaving the club in 2018. 2/10 Photo: JOHN THYS
