a stoppage-time equaliser in a 2–2 draw at Watford. He played regularly during the 2010–11 season, mainly as a member of the starting eleven, and scored nine goals, all in league competition. At the end of the August 2011 transfer window, Mddlesbrough's offer for Jutkiewicz, who had scored against them a few days earlier, was rejected, as were suggestions of a loan move; manager Andy Thorn said the player was very much part of their plans for the season. Jutkiewicz scored another nine goals by the beginning of January 2012, and Middlesbrough renewed their interest. Middlesbrough Because a permanent transfer could not be completed in time for Jutkiewicz to play in Middlesbrough's fixture against Burnley on 14 January 2012, he joined the club initially on an emergency loan deal. The permanent transfer, on a four-and-a-half-year contract for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be in the region of £1.3m, was completed a few days later. Jutkiewicz scored his first goal for Middlesbrough in an FA Cup fourth-round replay against Sunderland, and followed this on 14 February with his first league goal, in a 2–1 win against Nottingham Forest. He scored just once more that season, and manager Tony Mowbray suggested that he "was probably trying too hard to adapt his game rather than playing exclusively to his strengths." After an injury setback at the start of the 2012–13 season, Jutkiewicz scored his first two goals of the season for Boro in his first start, against Blackburn Rovers in a 2–1 victory away from home.

After another month out with knee damage, Jutkiewicz scored another four league goals, the last of which came in the 3–1 away defeat to Derby on New Year's Day.

Despite claiming Boro's only goal of the opening-day fixture against Leicester City, it was credited as an own goal by Sean St Ledger, so Jutkiewicz's first goal of the season came in the next match, a shock 2–1 defeat to Accrington Stanley in the League Cup. He scored the only goal of the next match, away to Charlton
