A January loan pickup having played in five matches for 'Boro last season, Doriva will be staying permanently after signing a one-year deal on Monday.

ANALYSIS
The relatively-unknown Brazilian will fight for a spot in the starting central midfield. Doriva got his feet wet in the 2002-2003 campaign; now he understands the English game and can build on that.
