Teenager Smallwood nets Boro deal
Middlesbrough have handed academy prospect Richie Smallwood a three-year professional deal at the Riverside.
The Redcar-born midfielder, 17, has established himself in the Boro reserve side and earned England under-18 honours in the process.
"It is a wonderful achievement for Richie. He is a smashing lad who has worked hard to get to where he is now," said academy boss Dave Parnaby.
"He is a clever player and has the potential to go far in the game."
