MICHAEL CARRICK says Middlesbrough always know Jonny Howson is there when they need a centre-back who is composed on the ball – and he expects that to extend into next season as well.
The Morley-born 35-year-old stepped up over Easter, partnering Boro's only fit centre-half, Matt Clarke, in the middle of defence, a job he has done for the team before. With Alex Bangura, Hayden Hackney and, most pertinently in this case, Rav van den Berg expected back at some point in the next week, it remains to be seen if Howson will return to his natural position at home to Swansea City on Saturday.

That probably plays to Jonny’s strengths, but I also think in the last couple of games he’s also shown the importance of experience and what that brings.
