Hines Keen To Prove Himself

Derby loanee Seb Hines is delighted to be arriving at Pride Park in time for the Carling Cup semi-final and hopes he can impress at Pride Park to force his way into Gareth Southgate’s plans at Middlesbrough.

“As of Sunday I’m now a Derby player. I’m really looking forward to it and hopefully it will help me prove myself to the gaffer at Middlesbrough. It all came about on Friday, when the gaffer told me that Derby wanted me to join them. He said it was a good idea for me to go out and get some experience and I was happy to go. I arrived in Derby on the Sunday and started training with the lads later that day.

“I think one of the reasons Middlesbrough have been a bit afraid of using me at times this season has been my lack of games so I’m delighted to get the chance of some pitch time at Derby.”
