Didier Digard is a tough-tackling central midfielder at Middlesbrough. The Frenchman's career on Teesside has been peppered with injuries.

When fit, Didier has showcased a hardened approach to his game in the middle of the park. Didier rejoined OGC Nice on loan in August 2010, having returned to the Riverside following his six-month loan spell at the end of the 2009-10 season.

He enjoyed an impressive loan spell in 2010-11, before returning once more to Teesside. Didier has represented France at every level up to and including U21 level and during his first season at Middlesbrough he captained the U21 side.
