Carayol for Boro
Championship,
Last updated:
Gambian international Mustapha Carayol is to join Middlesbrough from Bristol Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old winger has reportedly signed a three-year deal after catching Tony Mowbray's eye with a number of useful performances for Rovers, whom he joined last year, scoring four goals in 24 league and six substitute appearances for the west country League Two outfit.
Mowbray, who has been busy in the transfer market this summer, said: "I'm delighted that he's agreed to sign for us as there was competition for his signature from within the Championship. I see him as young, exciting player who can give us a different dimension and option. I'm looking forward to seeing him perform for us.
"He's played his entire career so far at a lower level but I see the potential for him to be an exciting addition to our squad and I'm sure he will excite the fans and be a player they can enjoy watching."
