MIDDLESBROUGH have completed the signing of Bristol City striker Tommy Conway - for a fee reportedly in the region of PS4.5m.

The Championship club have been chasing the Scottish international since the end of July and have finally landed the 22-year-old, who was in the final year of his deal at Ashton Gate.

Conway, who struck 12 times last term after netting the same amount of goals in 2022-23, has been Boro's number one striking target in the close season.

The Taunton-born player - whose future has been uncertain for some time with the forward unwilling to sign a new deal - was also the subject of interest from Hull City and Norwich City, while a swap deal with Burnley had been mooted.

A possible swap deal with Burnley had also been discussed earlier this month regarding exchanging long-term Robins target Scott Twine and centre-back Luke McNally for Conway.

Norwich also expressed recent interest, but the player had set his heart on moving to Boro.

Conway rejected two contract offers from City earlier in the close season and has been training with the under-21s since joining the squad for pre-season in mid-July.
