MIDDLESBROUGH youngster Sonny Finch believes MK Dons are the "perfect fit" after the striker joined the League Two side on a season-long loan.

It's a first loan move for the 19-year-old, who started for Boro in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Stoke City.

Finch is highly-rated by Michael Carrick, who wanted the teenager to go out and play regular football.

Finch said: "It's just the perfect time to kick on and hopefully show everyone in MK what I can do."

"The football they play, being from Middlesbrough we're used to playing with the football quite a lot, so I think here is perfect."

MK Dons boss Mike Williamson said: "Sonny is an extremely exciting young player who's very well thought of at Middlesbrough.

"We're very lucky to have the opportunity to continue his development, I'm sure he'll score goals and enjoy himself here."

Meanwhile, Middlesbrough youngster AJ Bridge is leaving the club for Norwich City.

The 19-year-old was heading for Norfolk on Friday night to finalise the switch.
