With some excellent performances in the pre-season to date, Harry Arter has revealed that brother-in-law Scott Parker has had a big influence on the 20-year old as he steps from from non-League football to League One.
Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Arter is quoted as saying: "Scott has been a massive influence on me. He has had a few injuries himself and had a fair few setbacks when he was at Chelsea. He is a model professional and he is the best professional I have ever met. Where I am today is partly down to him because he has helped me a great deal. I was as good as living with him and my sister when I was at Woking because they live in Esher. We are a really close family and he is always telling me to have confidence in myself. He says it’s the main thing to get you in the team".
