Middlesbrough Sign Midfielder Ravel Morrison<\/h2>\n

The Deal<\/h3>\n

Middlesbrough announced via their website<\/a> they had signed the midfielder. Morrison arrives on loan for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

He arrives as Middlesbrough\u2019s fourth January as Middlesbrough look to continue their improved run of performances and results. Morrison has barely featured since joining Sheffield United in the summer. He is a player that possesses quality and Jonathan Woodgate will hope can unlock that.<\/p>\n

Morrison began his career at Manchester United<\/a> before joining West Ham United<\/a>. He made just 18 appearances for the Hammers and spent time out on loan at Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City<\/a>. His best spell arguably came at QPR. He scored six goals in 15 games for the R\u2019s.<\/p>\n

His form got him a move to Lazio in 2015. However, he made just four appearances for the Serie A giants.\u00a0 He re-joined QPR on loan and had a spell at Mexican club Atlas.<\/p>\n

Morrison could a creative spark Middlesbrough have craved. Despite their upturn in form, Boro still struggle to score goals on a consistent basis. Their midfield certainly lacks creativity. Morrison could be that spark if Jonathan Woodgate can get the best out of him.<\/p>\n

Morrison has endured a difficult career and struggled to settle anywhere he has played. A move to Middlesbrough could be the start of a permanent home for Morrison if he seizes his opportunity.<\/p>\n

His main task is ensuring Middlesbrough continue to climb the table with Boro closer to the drop than the play-off places. The move certainly suits all parties with Morrison looking for game, Sheffield United wanting to make space and Boro needing a creative midfielder.<\/p>\n
