Purches Stays

Last updated : 11 June 2006 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
Following a preseason injury sustained against Southampton, Stephen Purches helped AFC Bournemouth avoid relegation at the end of the 2005/06 season.

In extending the contract, manager Sean O'Driscoll was quoted on the Clubs Official Web Site as saing: "Stephen has become even more important to us now that James O'Connor has moved on. All our players are flexible, but Stephen's in a class of his own. He's been outstanding for us and I'm glad he's signed another year".
