[LNB][LNB][LNB] Final stretch: Jones is keen to be involved in the closing stages of the season[LNB]Boro goalkeeping coach Stephen Pears said: 'Brad's little finger on his left hand popped out. It had to be put into place by our medical head Grant Downie at half-time and it was strapped to the next finger.
