Kilgallon Heading To Boro

Kilgallon, was signed by Bruce only in the last transfer window for cover at the back for Mensah and Turner. Unfortunately, he never made many appearances for the black cats and grew frustrated on the bench.

All summer there has been rumours and gossip that Kilgallon would join Boro on loan but some news broke recently that he would maybe head North to play in Scotland.

Finally Gordon Strachan got his man and told their official website: ‘Matt can play left-back as well as centre-back.

‘He gives us height as well as experience.

‘There’s a hunger there. I’ve explained to him that we’re probably looking at a certain position to start with and we’ll see how it goes from there.’

Bruce still has a few players to try and offload before the window shuts in less than 12 days so this could be the first of many.
