Sol Bamba is training with Middlesbrough as he looks to build up his fitness ahead of the new season.

The 36-year-old is a free agent after leaving Cardiff City in the summer and he remains on the lookout for a new club. And, in order to ensure he is fit and ready for whenever a move does happen, Boro have confirmed that boss Neil Warnock allowed Bamba to train with the team.

The two have a close relationship following their time together in the Welsh capital, and Warnock was in touch with the centre-back as he battled cancer last year.
