Middlesbrough have had a number of talented players pass through their academy over the years, with many going on to forge a fantastic career in the top-flight or EFL.

A couple of the current crop are looking to do just that, but they’ve got a job to do on Teesside before then.

Hayden Coulson is amongst those thriving in the first-team, whilst Dael Fry and Marcus Tavernier are other first-team players strutting their stuff in Neil Warnock’s squad.
