Ameobi joins Boro

Championship side Middlesbrough have signed Newcastle winger Sammy Ameobi on loan until the end of the season.

Manager Tony Mowbray said: "He gives us a different option and more options in a similar way to Muzzy Carayol. He's an out and out attacking wide player, who can operate on either side and will be ideal when we want to play with two wingers."
