Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes that Connor Mahoney will get his chance at the club.

The 22-year-old was on loan for the 2018-2019 season at Birmingham.

His boss Howe was so impressed with his displays, which included 32 games and two goals, that he feels Mahoney can get a chance with the first team next season.

He told the Daily Echo: "I'm really pleased.

"I think it was a big call for him to choose Birmingham in the end. A Championship club with very good players there so he's had to be patient initially to get his opportunity in the team.

"He's had to fight and scrap to get those moments on the pitch but then once he did I think he played really well towards the back end of the season, created a number of goals for them.

"Not an easy thing to do as a young player so very, very pleased for him and with him. He's another player I'll be sitting down with to discuss the next step."
