Rhodes from Blackburn Rovers for a reported eight-figure
fee a day after the transfer appeared to have collapsed.
Boro released a statement on Sunday revealing that they
failed to agree terms with Rhodes following talks over the
weekend but have now confirmed the deal a little over 24
hours later.
The 25-year-old, who has scored 20 goals or more in each
of his three full seasons in the Championship, moves to the
Riverside Stadium in a deal reportedly worth as much
as £13 million.
Boro currently sit second in the Championship, a point
behind leaders Hull City, and Rhodes could make his debut
against his former club when Blackburn visit Teesside on
Saturday.
Aitor Karanka's side have also completed the signings
of Leicester City defender Ritchie De Laet, who joins on loan
until the end of the season, and Julien De Sart, who has
signed a three-and-a-half-year deal from Standard Liege.
