Middlesbrough have appointed Joseph Robinson as their new first team opposition analyst from Blackburn Rovers to bolster head coach Kim Hellberg's backroom staff. Robinson, who spent nearly three years at Blackburn and previously worked at Manchester United, started work at Rockliffe last week to focus on tactical preparation and opposition insights.
