Boro cut their losses on Kink

MIDDLESBROUGH have reached an agreement with winger Tarmo Kink to end his contract at the Riverside Stadium.

Kink was a near £1m signing by Gordon Strachan in August 2010 and his appearances for the Teessiders have been few and far between.

A substitute role against derby was his only first team outing for the first team under Tony Mowbray this season.

Kink had been talking to European clubs about a move in the January transfer window but nothing materialised, mainly because of the player's wages.

However, after coming to a deal with Boro over the remaining 16 months of his contract, the Estonian is now free to discuss a switch despite the closure of the transfer window on January 31.
