Albion prospect Cozier-Duberry praised after Middlesbrough loan debut | OneFootball

Albion prospect Amario Cozier-Duberry drew praise after an eye-catching Middlesbrough debut in the Carabao Cup at Crystal Palace.

According to TheArgus.co.uk, the winger started following his season-long loan from the Seagulls, threatened with three shots and created two chances, but Boro lost 3-0.

Palace managed only nine touches in the opposition box, a figure the teenager matched himself, while the visitors registered 52 overall.

Head coach Kim Hellberg said he thought Cozier-Duberry was excellent, citing his defending, one against one play and ability to set up team-mates, especially after just one week with the squad.

He added the forward played with real intensity, showed quality on the ball and, in his view, was involved in all Boro’s chances, including a big opening from the right.

Cozier-Duberry impressed Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler on the training ground this summer after a standout loan at Bolton and has signed a new deal to 2029.

He made little impact in pre-season matches and from the bench at Tromso in the Conference League.
