But he spoke to me and I said &#8211; look, just come and enjoy yourself for a couple of months &#8211; you can always go to Turkey and places like that later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old brings plenty of experience to the Riverside. The winger scored once and provided four assists from just 16 games at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_self\">Crystal Palace<\/a> when managed by Warnock. He managed 144 appearances for the South London side before moving to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/everton\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The DR Congo international has made just under 400 appearances at club level and has turned out on 40 occasions for his national side.<\/p>\n<p>Bolasie brings a wealth of experience, having clocked up over 450 career appearances, including nine years as a Premier League player.<\/p>\n<p>On the arrival, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfc.co.uk\/news\/boro-sign-yannick-bolasie-on-loan\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Warnock said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve known Yannick for many years. I asked him if he could help us out until the end of the season and get some fitness in at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t expect wonders but he\u2019s a good lad and he can play different positions for me. He\u2019ll be good in the dressing room and it\u2019s a big boost for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Bolasie Hoping to Rekindle Form of Old as He Looks to Shake Aside Injury Troubles<\/h3>\n<p>After impressing at Crystal Palace under Alan Pardew, Bolasie moved to Everton for \u00a325 million in 2016. However, his big-money move to Goodison Park was ruined because of persistent injury problems.<\/p>\n<p>He has only made 29 appearances for the Toffees in four and a half years on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>Warnock will be hoping the winger can recapture his form of previous years when his trickery and silky skills made him one of the Premier League&#8217;s most unpredictable attacking threats.<\/p>\n<p>Should Bolasie impress on loan, Middlesbrough would have the option of signing him for free in the summer, with his contract at Everton set to expire in June.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"riqs6qGdRedK46ZviCO_Nw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1267707930\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'riqs6qGdRedK46ZviCO_Nw',sig:'tVQQB_Qcrim5fZMVaylcNLemAutydwmAPRGRtSlMe5U=',w:'594px',h:'379px',items:'1267707930',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yannick Bolasie has joined Middlesbrough on loan after being persuaded by Neil Warnock to move to the Championship side instead of a switch to Turkey.
