The new forward signed for Boro from NEC Nijmegen for €3.5m and will boost Rob Edwards’ options in the final third of the pitch. He has signed a four-year deal at the Riverside after scoring 12 goals and getting eight assists in the last two seasons.

Boro were particularly attracted to Hansen's pace and dribbling which make him a forward that the club has otherwise been lacking since the exits of Emmanuel Latte Lath, Ben Doak and Isaiah Jones in January.
