ROB Edwards has detailed Middlesbrough's recruitment process, praising the work of Kieran Scott and head of recruitment Chris Jones on player identification.
-
The summer has not proven an easy one for Boro but they made a crucial breakthrough this week in securing top target Callum Brittain.
The former Blackburn man has been one of the top right-backs in the Championship in recent years, with Boro needing to strengthen that area.
But in an effort to be a more self-sustainable club, Scott and Co have been tasked with finding players who represent better value for money, and, if needs be, with future sell-on value too.
In this sense, they've had numerous successes as the club try to reduce their astronomical losses in recent years.
