Cruz Ibeh, born on 16 October 2008 (age 17), is an English striker whose senior career so far is tied almost entirely to Middlesbrough. Listed by Transfermarkt, he has worn squad number 44 and has been used sparingly at first-team level.
His Middlesbrough involvement has been limited but clear enough in shape. Across two seasons he has made one league appearance without scoring, with the 2025-26 campaign bringing that Championship outing along with appearances in the FA Cup and the Championship play-offs. In all, he has made three senior appearances for the club.
At this stage, Ibeh’s profile is still that of a young forward at the edge of a first-team squad rather than an established regular. Middlesbrough is the club that has given him his senior start, and the next part of his career will depend on turning those brief appearances into something more sustained.
