Not one, but two; Boro’ adding two Wycombe Wanderers lads to the ranks during the 2025 close season – one of them being Jasper Pattenden. Unlike the other of that pair, Beryly Lubara, we didn’t have the luxury of getting Pattenden for free. No – we had to part with some wonga to secure the services of the defender. Not that you should think that a problem. Can only assume to start he’s worth the bother.

Jasper Pattenden: Before Boro’

For Pattenden, footballing life started at Brighton & Hove Albion. Makes sense, to be fair. He is a native of Worthing and the two places aren’t far apart. Mind you, it would actually be his hometown club where things really kicked into gear. And his stellar start to life as a senior player there saw Wycombe come calling in 2022.
