Middlesbrough extend Shay Given's loan spell

The 37-year-old Irish goalkeeper will now stay at the Riverside until 28 February.

SHAY GIVEN’S LOAN spell at Middlesbrough has been extended until 28 February, the club have confirmed.

The 37-year-old, who is Ireland’s second most-capped player ever, has had a successful start to life at the Riverside, keeping four clean sheets in seven starts since joining the club at the end of November.

Commenting on the news, Chief Executive Neil Bausor said: “We are extremely delighted to secure the extension of Shay’s loan until the end of February.”

Given is retired from international duty, but the goalkeeper has indicated recently that he would be open to a return to the Ireland set-up.

    @David Mc Nally: No footballer should be getting death treats 100% agree. Now I don’t want to be called a victim blamer but there is a few red flags. Why would any footballer allow DMs on Instagram?, the lad who threatened him was about 12 and if he wants to really know what fans can be like he should go play an old firm game as Neil Lennon. I’m not condoning what happened just think there’s ways he could avoid it

    @Brian O’Loughlin: he’s on £100k a week but I don’t think your bank balance makes a difference when your wife and children are being threatened over social media

    Hard to see him there next season due to bad form and the death threats might just make him want to leave.
