Middlesbrough Axes Six Players After Promotion Hopes Fade
28 May
Summary
- Six players released by Middlesbrough after promotion failure.
- Sam Silvera departs after 65 appearances since 2023.
- Loan players will return to parent clubs; one loan to become permanent.
Middlesbrough Football Club is set to see a significant player turnover after missing out on promotion to the Premier League.
Six players have been released, including Australian winger Sam Silvera. Silvera joined the club in 2023 and made 65 appearances, though his season was hampered by a foot injury sustained in February, preventing him from regaining a regular starting spot.
Other players departing at the end of their contracts include defender Darragh Lenihan, midfielder Alex Gilbert, and goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin. Finnish forward Marcus Forss and Dan Barlaser, who were both out on loan for the majority of the season, will also leave.
Additionally, loan players Alan Browne, Matt Targett, and Joe Wildsmith are returning to their parent clubs. However, discussions are ongoing with defender Dael Fry regarding a contract extension, while Jeremy Sarmiento's loan from Brighton is expected to become a permanent transfer.
