MIDDLESBROUGH have continued splashing the cash this summer with the signing of West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph.
The Republic of Ireland international has joined promotion-chasing Boro in a five-year deal.
Randolph, 30, has penned a four-year contract at the Riverside.
He told : “I’m delighted to get it all signed and completed.
“Arriving here and see the facilities, it’s definitely a Premier League club.
“I want to come here and get the club back to where it belongs and be part of something special.”
Randolph played 28 times for the Hammers last season but has opted to move on following the arrival of Joe Hart on-loan from Manchester City.
He made his professional breakthrough with Charlton Athletic and went to enjoy spells at Motherwell and Birmingham City before joining West Ham in 2015.

The experienced stopper becomes Garry Monk’s fifth permanent signing since taking charge of Boro earlier this summer.
He broke the club’s transfer record this week to land striker Britt Assombalonga in a £15miilion deal from Nottingham Forest.
That came on the back of the £9m arrival of attacker Martin Braithwaite from Toulouse.
Monk has also signed Cyrus Christie from Derby County and Jonny Howson from Norwich City.
Swansea youngster Connor Roberts has also moved to the North East on a season-long loan.
The club have recouped part of the money spent by selling a number of men since their relegation.
Forward Cristhian Stuani and Bernardo have both departed for Spanish side Girona, James Husband joined Norwich City and Danish international Viktor Fischer left for Bundesliga club Mainz.
