Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock has secured a contract extension at the club.

The veteran manager has Boro only five points away from a playoff spot in the Championship.

Warnock helped the team avoid relegation last term, and now will be looking to get them back into the Premier League.

The 72-year-old should be at the club until June 2022, if he sees out the new contract he has signed.

Warnock is in his 20th year as a manager, and has managed over 1,500 games over 18 different teams in various divisions.
