MIDDLESBROUGH have confirmed the signing of Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz on a season-long loan from Fulham.
The 21-year-old forward made 28 appearances for the Cottagers last season as they swept all before them to win promotion back to the Premier League.
The highly-rated marksman shot to prominence with Flamengo in the Brazilian top-flight before he joined Fulham last summer.
Boro boss Chris Wilder said: “He’s a player the club have history with and tried to sign him last year. He’s a real talented player and we’re delighted to have him here.”
Muniz will wear the number nine shirt for Boro this season.
