Grant Leadbitter’s new Boro contract is great news for the whole club, according to Boro editor Philip Tallentire.
The Boro midfielder has been in fine form this season and is top scorer with nine goals in all competitions.
Leadbitter, who was due to be out of contract at the end of the season, has now signed a new deal which will keep him at the Riverside until 2018.
He follows Ben Gibson, George Friend, Albert Adomah and Adam Reach in signing long-term deals at Boro.
The revelations come as a huge boost for the club ahead of Saturday’s trip to Millwall, with Boro looking to end a run of three consecutive draws in the Championship.
This week has also been marred by the departure of assistant head coach Craig Hignett, while Aitor Karanka has until tomorrow to respond to an FA improper conduct charge following his behaviour during Boro’s draw with Blackburn.
Good news at last.
