Liverpool prodigy Doak delighted with Middlesbrough transfer

He will have plenty of opportunities to play with Michael Carrick's team as they strive for promotion.

"I’ll be just happy to be playing," he said, per the Liverpool Echo. 

"Obviously coming from such a big club, it can be difficult to get games.

"My aim this season is to just improve as a player, and you can only really do that by playing games regularly. So hopefully I can give good performances that ultimately warrant my place in the team.

"I cannot wait to get out there in front of the fans and get my career up and running. Hopefully I can do well. There were no bad elements to coming here. Time will tell.

"Hopefully I can just go out there and do what I do, please the fans with my performances and please myself."
