Middlesbrough have acquired the services of Watford midfielder Diego Fabbrini on a season long loan as the Teessiders continue to bolster their emergent squad.

| Fabbrini had loan spells at Millwall and Birmingham last season |
The 24 year old Italian has made just 23 appearances for Watford since he joined the London club from Udinese in 2012; however Fabbrini has since gained Championship experience on loan at Millwall and Birmingham last season.
At 5 ft 11 in tall, Fabbrini is a versatile player who can play in centre midfield or on the wing. He can also play in the number 10 position behind the striker but will face competition from fellow new signings Stewart Downing and Lee Tomlin.
Speaking to Middlesbrough’s Evening Gazette Fabbrini said “I decided to come here this season because Middlesbrough is a big club with a good history and I think this year we can do very well,”
“I think the gaffer is a good man and a good coach. I’ve come here because it’s a big club, I like playing with good team-mates and because of the gaffer”
The Italian was present and trained with his new team-mates during Boro’s pre-season friendly last Saturday, which finished goalless. Fabbrini was joined by Uruguayan striker Christian Stuani who is set to sign on a permanent deal from Espanyol in the next couple of days as he waits for international clearance.
