IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Darragh Lenihan has joined Middlesbrough on a four-year deal today.
The 27-year-old signs as a free agent, after a decade at Blackburn Rovers.
“I’ve been a huge admirer of Darragh for a long time,” says Boro boss Chris Wilder, “in terms of his qualities he brings as a player, as a person, as a competitor, as a warrior, and a leader of men.
“I’m putting a bit on him but I know he can handle it. He’s a proper football player and I’m delighted.
The north-east side finished just outside the play-off spots in seventh position last term.
The Meath native — who starred for Ireland against Ukraine in Poland last week – is the club’s third signing of the week following the double capture Ryan Giles and Liam Roberts.
