Pharrell Willis will spend the rest of the calendar year with Queen of the South.

The forward has signed a loan deal with the Scottish League One side which lasts until January. 

Willis, 21, made his senior debut for Boro in a 3-0 win at Blackpool in November 2022.

After injury decimated his 2023/24 season, he will now look to use his loan stint north of the border to increase his exposure to first-team football.

Willis has been on Boro’s books since the age of 16, when he was picked up after impressing at Independent FC.

Deployed mostly out wide, he caught the eye with the Under-18s and later Under-21s.

Everyone at MFC wishes Pharrell well for his loan spell.
