The 24-year-old, who travelled to Doncaster with the rest of the Boro squad on Saturday and participated in the warm-up at the Keepmoat Stadium, is predominantly a right midfielder, although he can also play in a more central attacking-midfield role.

A full Italy international, who made his senior debut against England in 2012, Fabbrini had loan spells at Millwall and Birmingham City last season as well as contributing to Watford's successful promotion to the Premier League.
