Pick Of The Cherries - 17th June, 2003

Last updated : 17 June 2003 By Mike Robins
Goal keeper, Gareth Stewart, has signed a 2 year deal to keep him at Dean Court until 2005.

Injured from the start of last season, Stewart made a handful of first team appearances last season, his place going to Chris Tardif for much of the season.

Sean O'Driscoll is quoted as saying that he's "delighted that Gareth has agreed terms for this new deal, it now means that we have two superb goalkeepers. Gareth is very confident that he can push Neil Moss for the number 1 spot which he is more than capable of fulfilling. Gareth has played in a large number of first team games so has the experience if required to step in." (source: Official web site).
