Boro Target Jamal Lewis as Championship Interest Grows
Middlesbrough are among several Championship clubs eyeing Jamal Lewis, the Northern Ireland international, as he seeks a fresh start after leaving Newcastle.
Middlesbrough, alongside West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City, are keenly pursuing the signature of Jamal Lewis, the Northern Ireland international who is on the lookout for a new club following his departure from Newcastle United.
The 27-year-old left-back has emerged as an attractive option for these Championship sides after a challenging spell at St James' Park, where he made just 31 league appearances over three years.
Lewis began his professional career at Norwich City, where he spent four seasons before moving to Newcastle in 2020. Despite joining Newcastle, his time on Tyneside was marred by limited opportunities and a series of injuries that stunted his development.
Last season, Lewis made headlines with a loan move to Brazilian club Sao Paulo, but his time in South America did not unfold as hoped. He featured in only six matches for the Tricolor Paulist before an injury cut his loan short, prompting him to seek a fresh start back in England.
