Ex-Genoa, QPR midfielder Ledesma joins Middlesbrough

Emmanuel Ledesma has completed his move to Championship club Middlesbrough.

The 24-year old Argentine midfielder has signed a three-year deal with the Teessiders, joining as a free agent after his short-term deal with Walsall finished at the end of last season.

"Having watched him last year, we know he's a talented boy," Boro boss Tony Mowbray told the club's official website.

"He's a centre-forward who drops into midfield and links the play up well. He's left-footed and has a real work ethic."

Ledesma started his career with Italian club Genoa in 2008 where he had loan spells with QPR, Salernitana and Novara before moves to Crotone, Walsall and homeland club Defensa y Justicia.
