First-team assistant Ronnie Jepson said on Tuesday that several of the club’s younger players could depart on loan, yet moves may depend on players coming in.
We’ve picked out seven young players who could benefit from a move – scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see them:
5. Marc Bola
Made his first appearances of the season for Boro in the left wing-back role against Barnsley but still didn't look overly convincing. The 22-year-old appears to be third choice on the left behind Hayden Coulson and Marvin Johnson. Photo: Gett Images
6. Tyrone O'Neill
Made his Boro debut last season when the squad were dealing with several injuries. Has moved back to the under-23 set-up since then and will probably be hoping to gain some experience with an EFL club after impressing with Darlington in non-league last term. Photo: Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC
7. Ben Liddle
Another player who looks unlikly to feature much for the first team this season. The 21-year-old will probably seek another loan move after a spell with Scunthorpe last season. Photo: George Wood
