Middlesbrough defender Sean St Ledger says the arrival of Birmingham City striker Marcus Bent has been a good move by manager Gordon Strachan.

St Ledger reckons that on loan striker Bent's encouragement off the field has been a major new addition.

He said: "We have Marcus Bent's voice in the changing room now and his experience is a good add in the squad.

"I'm sure the gaffer will also be trying to bring in some more new faces."
