Bournemouth Announce 1-Year Contract Extension for Veteran Midfielder Andrew Surman

Bournemouth have announced the signing of Andrew Surman to a new one-year contract extension which should see him remain at the Vitality Stadium until 2020.

The player had 12 months left to run on his previous deal, which would have expired at the end of next season, but has come to an agreement with the Cherries over a further year.

A statement on the club's official website reads: "AFC Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman has signed a one-year contract extension.

"The 31-year-old, who had 12 months remaining on his current deal, has put pen to paper on new terms which will keep him at Vitality Stadium until 2020."

"I am really pleased to sign. I love playing for this club and I have loved my time here so far," Surman told the Cherries' website after penning his new deal.

"It's been a great time to have been part of the club, so to extend my time further is a great achievement."
