Middlesborough have completed the loan signing of Coventry City's John Eustace . John Eustace heads north to Teeside after signing on loan for Middlesborough , the deal will become permanent after the loan deal expires.

Eustace has suffered knee injurys this season but is back fully fit , and will relish the chance at top flight football again.

Boro manager Steve McClaren said "We're always on the look-out for talented young English players and Eustace fits that description perfectly.

"This is an ideal opportunity to take a close look at him, giving us cover in central midfield at a time when we are very light." McClaren also added

Eustace has made 20 appearances after only making 5 last term.
