Patrick Roberts: Man City winger joins Middlesbrough on loan after Norwich City spell ends

Patrick Roberts has joined Middlesbrough on loan for the rest of the season after the Manchester City winger's spell at Norwich City came to an early end.

The 22-year-old had joined the Canaries from City during August, but made just four appearances.

Roberts had a spell at Girona last season, having also enjoyed a successful loan stint with Celtic, where he scored 18 goals in 79 appearances.

He started out at AFC Wimbledon before moving to Fulham and then joined Manchester City during the summer of 2015.

Middlesbrough head coach Jonathan Woodgate said on the club website: "It's great Patrick has signed up.

"He is an exciting player, he wants to play games, and he has the bit between his teeth.

"He fits the mould of what we are looking at. He is young and hungry, and wants to do well.

"I am absolutely delighted to have a player of Patrick's calibre at this football club."
