He was part of the Boro side that reached the knockout stages of UEFA Youth League during the 2015/16 season.

The North Yorkshire club handed Coulson his first professional deal in 2016- with his debut coming around the same time in an EFL Trophy tie.

Jonathan Woodgate handed him his first league appearance for the senior team, which ended in a 3-3 draw against Luton Town on the opening day of the 2019/20 season.

In total he has made 53 appearances for Middlesbrough- scoring once in that time.

International experience

As a youngster, he received a number of international call-ups. The 25-year-old represented England at U16s, U17s and U18s level.

What have Middlesbrough fans said about him?

The verdict on the Coulson from Middlesbrough fans have been mixed upon the announcement of his loan move to Blackpool.

One wrote: “I think in League One with plenty of game time he will be a decent player for Blackpool.”

While another stated: “It’s mystery how he’s stayed at this club for four-and-a-half year. It’s been obvious for three of them that he needs a step down. Could be good at League One level for sure.”

A third added: “It’s a good loan move for him.”
