Portsmouth sign Boro winger Silvera on loan

Middlesbrough winger Sammy Silvera has joined fellow Championship side Portsmouth on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old Australia international scored six goals in 42 appearances for Michael Carrick's Boro side last season.

Pompey won the League One title to secure promotion back to the Championship for the first time since 2012.

Silvera has five international caps and has played for Western Sydney Wanderers, Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets in Australia, as well as Portuguese clubs Pacos de Ferraira, Casa Pia and Sanjoanense.

He joined Boro last summer and made 37 league appearances as the Teesside club finished eighth in the league, four points off the play-offs.
