The club are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Dan Barlaser from Rotherham United.
The 26-year-old joins on a three-and-a-half-year contract after watching Boro's win over Watford from the stands at the Riverside.
Barlaser has started all of Rotherham’s 28 Championship matches this season and has chipped in with two goals and seven assists.
Gateshead born and a product of the Newcastle United Academy, the move represents a return to his native north east.
After loan spells at Crewe, Accrington, and Rotherham, Barlaser joined the Millers permanently in 2020 and has clocked up over a century of appearances for the South Yorkshire side.
He is Boro’s second signing of the January transfer window and follows Cameron Archer into the club to bolster Michael Carrick’s squad.
"Dan is a player who I've had an eye on for a while, and we're delighted to bring him in," Boro's Head Coach said.
"He is a perfect fit for us, not only in terms of attributes and what he can bring on the pitch but also character and desire to improve."
