Jack Colback is relishing a return to the north east at the weekend with Town taking on Middlesbrough at the Riverside.

The 19-year-old midfielder has forced his way into the Blues' side recently after joining the Club on loan from Sunderland and is hoping to feature against a club he could have been playing for rather than against.

"I had a trial at Middlesbrough and Newcastle when I was nine or 10," Jack tells the Club website.

"Middlesbrough was an hour's drive away from my home and at Newcastle, it didn't really feel right so I went to Sunderland and ended up signing there.

"My parents are planning to be at the Riverside on Saturday and hopefully I will be involved. I have played in the last few games and feel that I am imposing myself a bit more on the team but the results are the main thing and they have not gone as well as we would have liked.
