Middlesbrough have signed Micah Hamilton on a four-year deal from Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder s up with Michael Carrick's squad for start of the Championship season.

Hamilton was in the academy at City and played three times for the senior team, scoring in a Champions League game against Red Star Belgrade in December.

"Micah is an exciting young player who we're looking forward to working with," Carrick told the club's website.

Hamilton was a regular in City's Under-21 team before Pep Guardiola selected him for the Champions League group game in Belgrade last December.

He scored the opener after 19 minutes in a 3-2 win before going on to make two more substitute appearances in the FA Cup and another in Europe.

Hamilton also came on as a sub in three of City's friendlies in their recent US tour but he has now arrived at the Riverside.

He is the fourth summer g by Carrick following Luke Ayling, Aidan Morris and Delano Burgzorg.

Middlesbrough kick off their Championship campaign at home to Swansea City on Saturday (12:30 BST).
