Bournemouth defender Steve Cook is determined to build on last season's form.
A key performer as Cherries finished ninth in the table, Cook's ability to remain available through the campaign was what pleased him most.
He told the Daily Echo: "I went into the season and I wanted to play more games than last year and I managed to do that.
"Now I have set my standards higher and I want to continue to do that for many years to come.
"I managed to stay injury free and have been able to be selected, I think that's the most important thing for me.
"The manager picked me week in, week out. I'm just really pleased that I put myself in the position to be available."
