Middlesbrough are confident of securing fullback Tony McMahon to a new contract.
The injury-jinxed 22-year-old was initially offered a contract extension late last year but opted to bide his time.
However, with his existing deal ceasing on June 30, decision day has been reached and the County Durham-born right-back is ready to commit himself to Boro for 12 more months, says the Evening Gazette.
