Middlesbrough defender George Friend signs new deal until 2020

Middlesbrough full-back George Friend has signed a contract extension which will keep him at the Riverside Stadium until the summer of 2020.

The 28-year-old played a key role in Boro's promotion to the Premier League at the end of last season and has been named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year at the end of the last two campaigns.

Friend, who joined the club from Doncaster in July 2012, said: "For me, committing to the Boro for another four years is because of so many things - a fantastic chairman, a brilliant manager and staff, great team-mates, absolutely amazing fans and a beautiful area in which to live.
