COMMANDING right-back Tony signed professional forms for Boro in the summer of 2003 but his career has been hampered by a succession of injuries.
He captained Boro and played in all seven games during the 2004 FA Youth Cup-winning campaign and represented England U19s in the European Championships.
Tony showed he could step up to first team level in pre-season 2003-04 when he stood in to cover during friendlies and his reward was a dramatic debut at Old Trafford in October 2004, when he played his part in a creditable 1-1 draw in an injury-hit team.
He forced his way into the first team reckoning, during the 2004/05 season, with a series of highly impressive performances.
But his progress has been affected by a string of injury problems.
He suffered a knee cartilage problem in March 2005, a dislocated shoulder in August the same year, a medial problem in March 2006 and a broken leg in a Reserve game against Liverpool in October 2006.
Tony spent a loan period at Blackpool in 2007/08 to help him regain fitness but his time at Bloomfield Road was cut short by a hamstring problem. He returned to Boro's first team squad as a substitute at Chelsea in March 2008.
He made just one senior appearance in 2007/08, as a substitute in the 8-1 win over Manchester City, but he signed a new one-year contract in summer 2008.
He spent a successful three-month loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday in 2008, playing under former Boro right-back Brian Laws at Hillsborough.
