Bournemouth have re-signed promising young goalkeeper Jordan Holmes until 2018.

The 18-year-old Australian has been on the verge of making his Premier League debut for the Cherries this season, having travelled with the squad for matches against Liverpool and Chelsea.

"I'm really over the moon to sign this new deal," Holmes told Bournemouth's official website.

"The club have been great with me ever since I arrived and to get it sorted is just surreal.

"I was looking at the contract and saw that the first time I signed was in 2013, I can't believe I'll have been at the club for five years in total - hopefully there will be many more to come.

"I remember coming to trial to here back in League One. Even then the team spirit was great and the ambition was there, too. I'm so happy to be here and I am still learning so much all the time."
