Smallwood hoping to play big part next season
Middlesbrough midfielder Richard Smallwood is already looking forward to next season after playing his part in the club's successful survival drive.
The 20-year-old has started the last three games and scored his first senior goal in Monday's impressive 3-0 npower Championship victory over promotion hopefuls Cardiff in South Wales.
Smallwood told the club's official website: "I'm loving every minute of it, it's what I have always dreamed of doing.
"It's been surreal really. At the start of this season, I thought my progression had slowed a bit but it's been getting better and better and scoring my first goal has just topped it off.
"I wouldn't mind a bit of a rest and hopefully come back after the summer pushing to get in the team again.
"Hopefully we can push on and I don't see why not next season for us."
