MIDDLESBROUGH SIGN DARLINGTON YOUNGSTER

19 Feb 2010

Josh Phillips has signed for Middlesbrough in time for Sunday's home clash with Liverpool at Thornaby Pavilion.

Phillips is 17-years-old and goes to Queen Elizabeth 6th Form College in Darlington. He was at Darlington's centre of excellence and is also in the English Colleges team.

Despite only getting into futsal at college recently, Josh stood out when Middlesbrough manager Damon Shaw took the college team for a coaching session and Shaw has snapped him up to play for Middlesbrough, further adding to his young local squad.

"Josh has a lot of potential and seems to be a natural futsal player. He'll fit into the team very well as we're a young team learning together so he's joining us at the right time. Shaw said. " There's no pressure on him at all, as with any of the team this season.

"We're at the start of a long term project to qualify for The UEFA Futsal Cup so we'll take each game as a learning experience but if we can continue picking up points, who knows, we may well be ahead of schedule!"

You can watch Boro this Sunday for £2 adults and £1 under-16s at Thornaby Pavilion, kick off 2pm. Lovemiddlesbrough will be giving out merchandise and Boro will be wearing their new strip adorning their new sponsor.
