Middlesbrough have signed defender Neil Taylor on a short-term contract.

The 32-year-old left-back, capped over 40 times by Wales, has been without a club since leaving Aston Villa this summer.

Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder told the club’s website: “Looking at the market we’re in at this particular time it’s a great one for us.

“He adds balance and competition to Marc Bola which is desperately needed.

“Neil’s a player of pedigree with a great attitude. He’s still fit and played for the under-23s for an hour last week.

“I think it’s a smart bit of business until the middle of January, then we can go from there.”
