Connor Malley has joined Gateshead on loan until the end of the season.
The midfielder links up with table-topping National League North side Heed in time for their match with third-placed Kidderminster Harriers this afternoon.
Malley, 21, made his senior Boro debut against Rotherham United at the tail end of last season, and has added another three first team appearances since.
A regular for our Under-23 side, he has also played senior football in loan spells with Ayr and Carlisle United.
