Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Neil Taylor on an initial deal that will run until mid-January.

The 32-year-old has been without a club since leaving Aston Villa in the summer but he had been training with Boro as he looked to earn a contract.

And, the club confirmed this evening that Taylor had joined, with Wilder revealing it's a two-month deal that will run until halfway through the January transfer window.

With Marc Bola the only senior option at left-back for the Teesside outfit, Wilder has moved quickly to bring in the Wales international who will provide experienced competition in that department.

It's fair to say that most Boro fans see this is a smart addition because it's a low-risk move and they've got a player who has shown he can do well in the Championship over the years.
