West Ham's Hugill makes Middlesbrough loan move

By published

Middlesbrough's hopes of winning promotion from the Championship have been boosted by the loan signing of West Ham's Jordan Hugill.

Out-of-favour West Ham striker Jordan Hugill will spend the season on loan with hometown club Middlesbrough.

The 26-year-old has struggled to establish himself at the Hammers since joining from Preston North End in January.

Hugill will hope a stint in the second tier prompts a return to the form that saw him net 10 goals in all competitions in the first half of last season.
