On Saturday, Sierra Leone International Alex Bnagura made his Middlesbrough debut in their 2-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Edwood Park.
The former Cambuur left-back started his first English Championship match for Middleborough but was not able to help his side avoid defeat.
Sammie Szmodics’ double strike gave Blackburn a vital win as they marked the 5,000th league game in their history.
The midfielder scored in either half to keep Boro anchored to the bottom spot with five defeats from six.
Matt Crooks gave Boro hope with a goal in an end-to-end game in which both teams missed a host of chances.
Rovers became only the seventh English club to play 5,000 league games and moved up to eighth.
