Saxon Earley has been confirmed as a Plymouth Argyle player following the end of his loan spell at Stevenage.
The full-back joins for an undisclosed fee from Norwich City, his parent club, having starred for Boro in the opening half of this season where he made 27 appearances and scored one goal.
Speaking on the Devon club's website, the 20-year-old said: "I did really well at Stevenage and really enjoyed my time there. I learned a lot.
"The boys were great and we did really well. We’ve done much better than anyone expected. There were a few ups and downs but luckily more ups than downs.
"I’ve come here to do my best and to keep it going in the right direction, hopefully, for the rest of the season and onwards."
Argyle manager and former Boro midfielder Steven Schumacher said: "He is an exciting young player that we have added to our squad that will improve our strength in depth.
"He is a player with huge potential. He enjoyed a really successful loan spell at the top of League Two with Stevenage and we think he is ready for the step up to show what he can do in League One."
