Middlesbrough set up friendly trip to Spennymoor, while kick-off changes for game at Hartlepool United
Tony Pulis’s side have agreed to visit National League North side Spennymoor Town in their first match in this country, hinting that they could be in action abroad prior to their Brewery Field trip on Tuesday, July 10, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Moors enjoyed an excellent campaign in their first ever season in the sixth tier of English football, only for a huge fixture backlog to drop Jason Ainsley’s men down to eighth place, narrowly missing out on a place in the end-of-season play-offs.
