MIDDLESBROUGH'S Terrell Agyemang is hoping to benefit from a season of regular football after linking up with Airdrieonians on loan.

The 21-year-old will spent the entirety of the coming season in the Scottish Championship.

Agyemang, who can play at right-back or in midfield, joined Boro from Manchester City last summer and was a regular in the Under-21s ranks. He had two separate loan spells at Hartlepool and is now hoping to kick on with a full year of senior football.

He said: “It’s a new challenge, so I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard about how Airdrie play, so that attracted me a lot.

“I just want to come and enjoy my football again and get playing.

“I’d say I’m quite technical, I like to get on the ball a lot and get play moving. I can bring energy, and I’m quite versatile in playing positions - so yeah, energy and technique."

Manager Rhys McCabe said: “Terrell is a very technical player, having been brought up in some big academies including Man City, where he played with the Under-23s and trained with the first team.

“He’s at a stage now where he’s really ready to kick on and play. He understands what we’re trying to do here, and he brings real quality - I think the fans will be delighted with this one.

“He gives you a goal threat, and can play as an eight, a wing-back, or a full-back - so he can cover a few positions, which is a bonus.”
