More Good News!

In a surprise move, AFC Bournemouth have signed the impressive defender James O'Connor on a free transfer from Aston Villa. The deal bringing him to Dean Court is for 2 years, this despite being told that he had a future at the West Midlands club albeit out of contract this Summer. The news of his signature was confirmed on Sky Sports News this evening.

This will rub the salt in to the wounds at Port Vale, where he spent 3 months on loan this season. Vale and Villa could not agree a fee, so the deal fell through!

Additionally, AFC Bournemouth have secured the services of Matthew Mills for another month from Southampton.
