American goalkeeper Zack Steffen has claimed he will not return to Premier League side Manchester City when his loan spell at Middlesbrough comes to an end.
The 27-year-old left the Premier League champions on a season-long loan deal last summer in search of more game time ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
Despite starting for Middlesbrough this season, Steffen failed to earn a call up to Gregg Berhalter's USMNT roster but his switch to Middlesbrough does not appear to have been in vain.
Playing under former Manchester United star Michael Carrick at the Championship club, Steffen described the team's atmosphere as 'another brotherhood' like the US national team.
And he appears so happy at the English club that he doesn't intend to return to the Etihad.

Steffen has made 35 appearances for Middlesbrough this season, keeping nine clean
