Boro boss Aitor Karanka has beefed-up his back line with the loan signing of Swansea’s Dutch international full-back Dwight Tiendalli.
The Surinam born right-back was the second defensive signing of the week after the arrival of Fulham centre-back Fernando Amorebieta on Tuesday.
Tiendalli, 29, has played 14 times for Holland Under-21 caps and twice for the senior squad after an impressive career in the Eredivisie.
He played for Utrecht and Feyenoord before switching to FC Twente where he won the title under Steve McClaren then played in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
He switched to Swansea on a free transfer in September 2012 and won a League Cup winners in his first season there.
He has played 27 times in the Premier League and another nine in the Europa League for the Welsh outfit.
He has signed until the end of the season and would be available for the play-offs if needed.
Right-back has been a problem position for Boro this term with Damia Abella and Rhsy Williams both suffering long-term injuries and neither Emilio Nsue or Tomas Kalas specialists in that position.
