When Boro first spotted Arfsten - who joined the club from Columbus Crew last week - Carrick was still in charge. It all leaves Arfsten’s integration into Hellberg’s Boro team rather interesting - particularly as he’s spent the majority of his career playing a variety of positions. He notes Columbus’ style when Arfsten played as wing-back will be very similar to what Boro aim to do. “He’s played as a left-back for the national team and fared okay. He has a lot of qualities that I think Middlesbrough fans will really come to appreciate very quickly.”
