New Middlesbrough signing Leroy Lita is determined to take advantage of his "fresh start" and help fire the club back into the Barclays Premier League at the first attempt. Having helped Reading clinch promotion to the top flight, Lita found his first-team chances limited last term and spent a successful loan spell at Norwich. But after signing a three-year deal at the Riverside, Lita told the club`s official website: "I`m raring to go. I haven`t enjoyed the last two seasons one bit but this is a fresh start and I`m excited about the challenge. "Other clubs were interested in signing me but there was only one place I wanted to go and that was Middlesbrough. "The manager has been after me for about a year, it`s great to feel wanted. I have a lot of respect for the gaffer and I want to do well for him and the club. "I aim to repay him for his faith in me with goals. That's the main strength to my game and I`m looking forward to scoring goals for Middlesbrough."
