Having brought them through the youth team, and now seeing them sign professional contracts, Joe Roach speaks in the Bournemouth Evening Echo about Steve Hutchings and George Webb.

He is quoted as saying on Hutchings: "Steve is a really hard working striker. He's 6ft 2ins and has got potential in terms of his technical qualities. We've got expectations of him - not just because he's a 6ft 2ins striker - that he's got the potential to be a good targetman".

On George Webb, Roach is quoted as saying: "The first team recognised George's value when he was involved at Morecambe, not just on the pitch, but in and around the players. He's a good lad and the players really took to him".

Youth team members Carl Preston and Jamie Davidson were not offered deals to stay.
