Ex-Oxford winger Peart-Harris joins Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have signed winger Myles Peart-Harris on a free transfer on a four-year contract.

Peart-Harris, 23, was available after his short-term deal at relegated Oxford United had expired, having scored three goals in 20 games since joining the Us in January.

Now, the former Brentford player heads to The Riverside for the next stage of his career with the side who lost to Hull City in the Championship play-off final.

"As soon as I was told Middlesbrough were interested, I just wanted to get it done," Peart-Harris told the club's website, external.

"It's a very good footballing side with a great manager and a strong support, so it's brilliant to be part of it now."

Boro begin the new league season at home to promoted Lincoln City on 15 August.
