Middlesbrough's Riggott chasing form that had Liverpool interested

Middlesbrough defender Chris Riggott hopes to rediscover the form that had Liverpool knocking on his door two years ago.

After their win against Wigan, Riggott said: "The last two years have been very frustrating.

"I've had a few different injuries and been in and out of the team and I've been unable to hold down a regular place. The Liverpool thing seems like a distant memory now. But things did come together for me very quickly when I started off.

"It seemed to come easy and you think it will always be like that. But I've had a difficult couple of years and I'm looking ahead to better times. I aim to make the most of every opportunity I get.

"It was good to keep a clean sheet against two strikers who have been making headlines this year. They didn't get too many chances between them.

"Our keeper had to make a couple of good saves but the chances seemed to fall elsewhere."
