Middlesbrough confirm loan signing of Millwall midfielder George Saville

Middlesbrough have announced that they have completed the signing of Millwall midfielder George Saville.

Millwall signed Saville from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer, and the 25-year-old went on to score 10 goals from 48 appearances in the Championship.

However, the player's form left him as a target for a number of clubs at the second tier, and Boro have secured the signature of the Northern Ireland international.

The two clubs have agreed a loan deal to last until January, when Boro are obligated to complete the permanent transfer of the former Chelsea trainee.

The North-East outfit have also added Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Danny Batth to their squad.
