Middlesbrough signing Patrick Bamford believes he can work his way back to Chelsea.

Bamford signed permanently for Boro yesterday.

“It was a sad day knowing that I was going to leave Chelsea, but it was also probably one of the happiest days of my life as well," he told talkSPORT.

“I was so happy to come back here to Middlesbrough.

“I've put Chelsea behind me now, but I really enjoyed working with the staff and the players there. I'll remember my time there fondly.

“But I'm not closing the door on Chelsea. You never know what will happen in the future, depending on how well I do."
