Amario Cozier-Duberry has joined Middlesbrough on loan for the rest of the season after signing a new three-year contract with Brighton. The winger’s move comes after a strong spell at Bolton Wanderers last season, where he put up 9 goals and 10 assists in 37 games.
Brighton's contract call
Brighton moved first by extending Cozier-Duberry's deal before agreeing the loan. He made his first appearance for the club in the Conference League last month, a small but telling step before this next move.
The 21-year-old's Bolton loan was the real source of his stock rising. Nine goals and 10 assists in 37 games is a serious return for a wide player in League One, and he also earned a place in the PFA League One Team of the Year.
What Middlesbrough are buying
Middlesbrough have made him their 11th signing of a busy summer, so this is part of a broader recruitment push rather than a one-off swing. The appeal is obvious: a winger who can score and create, with a loan season that already showed he can handle regular senior football.
Brighton are still protecting his long-term value with the new contract, while Middlesbrough get an attacking option who arrives with momentum. The immediate test now is simple enough, he has to translate that Bolton output into Championship minutes.
