Fit-again Middlesbrough midfielder Riley McGree believes this is the biggest season of his career.

A hamstring injury sustained in pre-season meant the 27-year-old missed the opening nine games of the Championship season, having made just 39 league appearances across the previous two seasons after a series of injuries.

McGree, who arrived from MLS side Charlotte in January 2022, made only his second start in 11 months against former club Birmingham on 8 November, playing just over an hour in the 2-1 win, while he came off the bench for Australia in the 1-0 friendly defeat to Venezuela three days later.
