Defenders Robert Huth and Jonathan Woodgate agreed to join Middlesbrough on Wednesday, the Premier League club said.

Centre half Huth signed a five-year deal for six million pounds from English champions Chelsea [ Images ] while injury-plagued Woodgate agreed a one-year loan from Spanish giants Real Madrid [ Images ].

"We have added two international defenders to our squad... and this is a significant coup for Middlesbrough and a big boost to everyone at the club," manager Gareth Southgate said.

"Both players feel they have a point to prove -- and the great thing is they want to do that with Middlesbrough."

Middlesbrough also confirmed the signing of Charlton Athletic midfielder Jason Euell.

Germany [ Images ] defender Huth, 22, was set to join Boro in the close season but a move fell through after he failed a medical. He has been capped 17 times by Germany and played 68 times for Chelsea.

Middlesbrough-born Woodgate joined Real from Newcastle United in August 2004 for over 13 million pounds but made only sporadic appearances for the club after suffering a series of injuries.

On Wednesday, the 26-year-old, capped five times by England [ Images ], passed a medical at Middlesbrough and the deal includes the option for the club to sign him permanently.
