Middlesbrough have signed Myles Peart-Harris on a free transfer. The 23-year-old winger, who spent ten years at Chelsea's academy, scored three goals in 20 games for Oxford United.
Myles Peart-Harris spent ten years in Chelsea's youth system, honing his skills before moving to Brentford in search of regular first-team football. Despite never making a senior appearance for the Blues, he gained valuable experience in their Under-23 setup and during loan spells, developing into a versatile winger with an eye for goal.
"As soon as I was told Middlesbrough were interested, I just wanted to get it done," Peart-Harris told the club's website.
His decade-long development at one of England's top academies laid the foundation for his professional career, which has now taken him to the Championship.
Peart-Harris joined a Championship club on the rise in January 2026, signing a short-term deal with Oxford United. He scored three goals in 20 league appearances, showcasing his attacking potential from the wing. However, his contributions were not enough to prevent Oxford's relegation to League One.
The 23-year-old's goal tally included crucial strikes, but Oxford's defensive frailties ultimately cost them. Despite the disappointment, Peart-Harris's performances attracted interest from higher-placed Championship sides, setting up his next move.
Middlesbrough signed Peart-Harris on a free transfer after his Oxford contract expired, offering a four-year deal. The club, which lost to Hull City in the Championship play-off final, will rely on him to add creativity and goals from the flanks. Peart-Harris expressed enthusiasm about joining a "very good footballing side with a great manager and a strong support."
The move represents a fresh start for Peart-Harris, who now has the opportunity to establish himself in a team with genuine promotion ambitions.
