MIDDLESBROUGH have completed the signing of Manchester City youngster Morgan Rogers, the fifth new arrival of the week on Teesside.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a four-year contract with Boro and follows Alex Gilbert, Rav van den Berg, Sammy Silvera and Tom Glover through the door.
Rogers progressed through the ranks with West Brom before Manchester City paid £4m to take him to the Etihad when he was just 17.
He arrives at Boro with experience of the Championship, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Blackpool. He had a previous spell with Bournemouth in the second tier and also spent time on loan at Lincoln.

Versatile Rogers, who can play across the forward line, has linked up with his new Boro teammates in Portugal and could make his first appearance in Saturday's behind-closed-doors friendly against Vitoria Guimaraes.
It's been a hugely productive week for Boro in the transfer market, with Boro showing no signs of slowing down in their efforts to strengthen the squad.
Talks are ongoing with QPR keeper Seny Dieng, with Boro looking to add three-four senior players to their ranks in the coming weeks.
Exits are imminent, with Sol Brynn set to join Leyton Orient on loan and Marc Bola in talks with Turkish club Samsunspor.
