MIDDLESBROUGH have completed the signing of exciting Manchester City forward Micah Hamilton - and Kieran Scott says Boro "aren't finished yet".

Hamilton has signed a permanent deal for an initial fee understood to be in the region of £2m. He's joined on a four-year contract, with the deal confirmed in time for the 20-year-old to be part of the squad for Saturday's Championship opener against Swansea City, if selected by Michael Carrick.

He trained with his new teammates for the first time on Friday morning.

Carrick said: "Micah is an exciting young player who we're looking forward to working with.

"He's already been in and around the senior side at Man City - he's got that experience from playing in the Champions League - and he is another great addition to the squad."

Hamilton, who will wear the No.17 shirt this season, follows Luke Ayling, Aidan Morris and Delano Burgzorg through this door as the club's senior signings this summer - with Scott revealing live on Sky Sports that work on a couple of further signings is "bubbling away", with one deal potentially close.

Boro are hoping to add another striker, with talks with Bristol City over Tommy Conway ongoing, while a left-back is also on the club's wishlist after Alex Bangura suffered a serious injury in pre-season.

Scott said: "We're delighted to have Micah here. It shows as a football club how we're progressing that we can entice someone like Micah to come and join us on a permanent deal and not a loan.

"He's an exciting player. He can play in various positions in the front three. He has a bit of pace, he's tricky, he likes to take players on and hopefully score some goals.

"We're really happy (with our summer business). We started off quickly and now Micah has come to join us as well. We're not finished yet, we're still trying to do a bit more, but it's a good start.

"There's one or two bubbling away, one particularly, but I'll keep it in for now. But we're working hard to make it happen."
