Middlesbrough striker Josh Coburn is poised to join Bristol Rovers on loan, as Joey Barton looks to strengthen his squad across a number of departments on deadline day.
Sky Sports have reported that the 19-year-old has agreed a loan move to the Mem and Bristol Live understands that to be true with the teenager expected to join Fulham winger Sylvester Jasper on deadline day.
Coburn started his career with Sunderland’s academy before joining Middlesbrough at age 16 and he has 26 senior appearances under his belt, albeit mostly as a substitute, with six goals in all competitions, having made his debut for the club when he was 18 in the Championship.
