No wonder they’ve paid 3 million if they think that’s his record

In my almost two decades supporting Boro, there's been two players who weren't born on Teesside who properly understood what this club was about, and took the club into their hearts. One was George Friend. The other was Matt Crooks. Hate to be negative about the club, but think we could regret this one. Hope the Tree goes on to score belters all the time in Salt Lake City. Gutted.

Very sad to see him go as he always gave 100% every game, even when he wasn't on form or was injured he'd completely run himself into the ground every game. As well as giving it 100% all the time, he was a likeable lad and knew how to score a goal. Can't blame him for going, be a great experience living in the US for a few years.
On a more interesting note, does this mean we'll get to see him against Messi?

Matt Crooks has penned a parting letter to the Boro fans after his move to MLS club Real Salt Lake was finalised.
When first joining, I remember saying ‘it’s Middlesbrough’, and I haven’t been disappointed, what a club.
Only six months ago, I described this place as home and that it will remain. But life is short and we only get one go at it, and to have the chance to experience football and life in another country with my family was one I was keen to take up.
From the very first game, playing as a tricky right-winger at Fulham away, right up to Chelsea in a domestic semi-final, I gave it my all.
Under each manager came different challenges and plenty of positions, yet all provided me with memories which I am sure I’ll be able to look back on fondly. Reading at home, United away, Spurs at home, Chelsea at home. Fantastic.
Good luck to everyone involved with the club for the rest of this campaign, I'm sure the lads and staff will give everything 'til the season ends.
Aside from the football, I must place thanks to you all who have supported the Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust from the minute I arrived. We have been able to raise incredible amounts of money together and I hope you continue to keep an eye on what we do.
Hair is fine, can’t question it. Belters, all the time? Not sure.
Up the burrow,
Tree.

His age and the money I agree with this but I will miss the man!

Well some would argue it’s worse, but horses for courses!
It’s not as if Crooks lives in Middlesbrough town centre though is it.

Only if you fly economy, if you go business class it's slightly more expensive than a Boro ST next year.

It has a reputation for being very isolated.
Negum Onouha doesn’t speak especially fondly of his time there.

Ha well if you’re judging on skylines you could probably make a case for every North American city being better than every European one.

Can't get a good one on Linthorpe road nowadays, used to love Central Park but last few times I went it seemed to have went downhill
