Malaury Martin joins Middlesbrough

First signing: Malaury Martin has joined Mowbray's Boro Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has made his first summer signing after Frenchman Malaury Martin agreed a one-year deal. The 22-year-old midfielder made his debut in Sunday's 3-2 friendly victory over Croatian side NK Varazdin after impressing during a trial on Teesside. Mowbray told the club's official website: 'Malaury can do a bit of everything and will be a useful addition to our midfield. 'He can pass, tackle and defend and he has a great shot on him, so we will try to utilise his talents.' Free agent Martin, a former France Under 21 international, spent last season at Blackpool, but injuries did not allow him to make a first-team appearance.  Flop Digard swaps Teeside for Nice as Middlesbrough cut ?3m loss on FrenchmanBoro keen to offload Boyd as Scotland striker talks to Turkish side Eskisehirspor
