Boro and Wrexham aim to be competitive again‎

Boro narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League after losing 1-0 to Hull City in the Championship play-off final at Wembley in May. Hayden Hackney, last season's English Football League Championship player of the season, was sold to Everton for a base fee of at least £16m.
