Aston Villa midfielder Isaiah Osbourne wants to be hitting the back of the net regularly for Middlesbrough.

Osbourne, who is on a two-month loan from Aston Villa, told the Evening Gazette: "It's good to be playing first team football again. I enjoyed the game at Crystal Palace, but not the result.

"I hope I can help the team because this club deserves to be in the Premiership.

"I felt good on Saturday but I know the gaffer at Villa wants me to get up and down the pitch a bit more. He wants me to get on the goalsheet.

"Hopefully I can do that at Middlesbrough and help the team win games."
