WOODGATE TO LEAVE BORO


24/05/16

Jonathan Woodgate has been released by Middlesbrough and will leave the club this summer along with fellow defenders Rhys Williams and Damia Abella.

Woodgate has made 112 appearances for his home-town club but will not be offered a new contract after enduring an injury-hit season. The former Leeds and Real Madrid defender played only one match during the 2015/16 campaign - the Capital One Cup win at Burton in August - and struggled with several injuries throughout the season.

While it had already been announced Williams is set to return to Australia to join Perth Glory, Damia will also be departing the Riverside.

Aged 36 now and will always be linked to the Leeds Utd 'assault' scandal of some years ago! :(

A pretty good player in his day, he played 8 times for England (injuries prevented him playing a lot more) and moved clubs for a combined total of £37,400,000 which included Real Madrid and Spurs but only managed a total of 299 league appearances in a long career

Hopefully one not linked to us during the summer but with hat record he might just be! LOL :laughing6:
