    Goalkeeper Seny Dieng has left Middlesbrough after having his contract cancelled by mutual consent so he can join Greek Super League side Atromitos.

    The 31-year-old joined Boro from QPR for £2.2m in July 2023 and made 52 league appearances for the Teessiders.

    Dieng, who is a Senegal international, started his career with Zurich-based Grasshoppers having been born in the Swiss city before joining Duisburg in Germany in February 2016.

    He had not played for Middlesbrough since December 2024 and made three appearances on loan with Sheffield Wednesday last season.

    A Will Lankshear brace helped Middlesbrough come from behind to beat Lincoln City 2-1 in their opening game of the new Championship season on Saturday.

    The striker joined Boro from Tottenham in the summer and won the game for the home side with a 92nd-minute goal after the Imps had taken the lead through Adam Reach.

    We asked for your thoughts and here is a selection of what Middlesbrough and Lincoln fans have had to say on the game:

    Middlesbrough fans:

    Dave - Absolutely shocking first-half tactics - pass sideways, backwards and then lose the ball. An improved second half with substitutions but we would be sunk without Lankshear.

    Bert - Rather good first match. Space for improvement with these players. Defence more resolute, attacking more pace and switch quicker from right to left. Boro will end up in the top six.

    Stephen - Very fortunate to win after a poor first-half display. They managed to get it right in the second half but the defensive frailties are there for all to see.

    Roger - Good second-half display. With lots of new players they took time to adjust and deservedly beat a really tough side. With Strelec, Morris and Conway to return from injury I think we will have a great season.

    Lincoln fans:

    Ray - Very impressive. We won't be the pushovers the experts claim.

    David - Well done in the first half for our determined Imps. I know the die hard fans are going to be up in arms at my statement but this year we are desperately in need of linking passes together otherwise we are going be cream crackered by Christmas. This is a real step up!

    Ian - Great spirit and commitment. No criticism of effort. Better luck next outing lads.

    Paul - Onward you imps. We will surprise a lot of teams this season.

    Norffy - Great effort - nearly caused an upset
