Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers signs new long-term deal

Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The highly-rated youngster made his Premier League debut at the back end of last season, helping Bournemouth notch their first-ever top-flight win against Tottenham in a game where he was named man of the match.

"I'm delighted to sign a new contract," Travers said.

"On a personal note, it was a great end to last season and to now get this deal sorted, it will really help me push on and into the new season.

"As soon as the offer was there I was really keen to sign and commit my future to the club.

"The manager and backroom staff have been brilliant with me. I've developed as both a person and player during my time with the club and I'm excited for what the future holds."

Travers also played in Bournemouth's final game of last season at Crystal Palace and was subsequently called up for Republic of Ireland's qualifiers for Euro 2020 against Denmark and Gibraltar.

The 20-year-old joined the Cherries in 2016 as a youth player from Shamrock Rovers and went out on loan to Weymouth during the 2017-2018 season.
