Brad Guzan to remain at Middlesbrough until the summer?

Middlesbrough have reportedly decided to keep Brad Guzan at the Riverside Stadium until the summer.

Since making the switch from Aston Villa last summer, Guzan has made just five appearances in all competitions, with three of his outings coming during the opening month of the season.

However, according to MLSSoccer.com, an injury to Victor Valdes has led to Boro denying Guzan the opportunity to link up with Atlanta United during the January transfer window.

Guzan has kept clean sheets in games against Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday, and with Boro needing the 32-year-old to deputise for Valdes, he will have to wait for his return to the MLS.

The goalkeeper has just six months remaining on his existing deal in the North-East.
