Essien, 18, joined 'Boro' from Manchester City in the summer of 2018 and featured for the under-16 team before progressing to the under-18 side.
The talented right-back was very poductive for the Riverside Stadium outfit this season and made 18 league appearances, but he is being released upon the expiration of his contract to seek top level football elsewhere.
The youngster is one of the leading lateral defenders in the English Under-18 Premier League and he has been tipped for greatness in the coming years.
Born to Ghanaian parents in Manchester, Essien went through the City Academy before moving to Middlesbrough in June 2018 for an undisclosed fee.
