    Harrogate Town have signed Middlesbrough defender Archie Baptiste for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.

    The 20-year-old joined Boro last June after coming through Tottenham's academy and made one Championship appearance.

    He ended the season on loan with Rochdale but did not feature for them.

    Middlesbrough should have plenty of "optimism" for the potential of new signing Will Lankshear, says BBC Radio Oxford's Jerome Sale.

    The 21-year-old striker joined Boro from Tottenham on Tuesday for a potentially club-record fee after catching the eye during his loan spell at Oxford United last season.

    In fact, he left such a good impression at the Kassam that some believe he could be in the mix to don the number nine shirt for England.

    "I think that's a longish shot but I think there is a high ceiling for him," Sale said. "For plenty of reasons, not least his talent but also his work ethic is insane.

    "Sometimes you can look at his sheer physical presence and feel he might be the guy to go and ping the ball to if you're looking for an equaliser at the last minute - but he's not that player.

    "He's actually more of a Harry Kane type player who wants to drop and get involved even though he's got the physical size. He's not super quick but he's got the speed of thought, again like Kane, that makes up for that.

    "I just think he'll be a really fun watch."
