Junior Hoilett scores for Canada.

Canada played really well tonight in which Hoillett played a leading role and scored a goal by lobbing the Costa Rican keeper. He showed some good moves in Canadaian team which surprised me in their overall play.
 
Sign him up!
Name still floating about in the transfer sea.
Warnock can surely hook him onto the Boro bandwagon?

EXCLUSIVE: Warnock in talks for triple reunion to bolster Middlesbrough ranks

Neil Warnock TEAMtalk

Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock is in talks to sign three free agents who all played for him at Cardiff City.

Sol Bamba, Kadeem Harris and Junior Hoilett all played big roles for Warnock during his time in South Wales. They are now all being eyed by their former boss for a reunion at the Riverside Stadium.

Canadian forward Hoilett, who left The Bluebirds in the summer, was actually Warnock’s first signing when he arrived at Cardiff.

Now the 31-year-old has a number of options, mainly from the Championship and Major League Soccer, and one of those is Middlesbrough too; Warnock would love to bring him in.

Likewise, Harris is a player Warnock would like to bolster his attacking options. The 28-year-old is a free agent after leaving Sheffield Wednesday and has also spoken to the North East club.

Bamba, Mendez-Laing also on radar

A third player from Warnock’s Cardiff contingent could be Bamba, who is already training with the club. Warnock stated that 36-year-old Bamba was with the club to build up his fitness, but we understand that there have been talks about a possible long-term deal.

Another good performance from Hoilett albeit in a losing effort against Mexico tonight as Canada went down to very late goal from Mexican playmaker Herrera. I thought Canada really played well although no one player stood out for me -- Hoilett was skipper and although he doesn't have the speed he possesses a good passing brain and showed leadership on the field tonight. Just a note from a northern England perspective, John Herdman is the coach of the Canadian team -- and despite not playing at the pro level he has shown that he really has great team management skills leading a decent Canadian side through to the semifinals of the Gold Cup. Born in Consett, he's really progressed in the international game leading a number of countries women's football programmes to world finals. It wouldn't be too much of a surprise if he takes this Canadian team through to the World Cup finals in Qatar.
 
considering our left-sided problems Hoilett could be the answer but maybe his age comes into question as he looked completely MT after 45 mins last night which is never a good sign for a long season campaign.
