Riggott recalled from loan deal

Middlesbrough defender Chris Riggott has been recalled from his loan spell at Stoke as the Teessiders battle for their Barclays Premier League future.

The 27-year-old has played nine games in the Coca-Cola Championship club’s promotion charge but with Robert Huth still struggling with a foot injury and Jonathan Woodgate having left for Tottenham, manager Gareth Southgate has turned to his former team-mate once again.
