Former Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic says Mark Travers needs to keep working hard with the Cherries.

Travers is now strictly second choice at Bournemouth behind captain Neto.

Departing Everton keeper Begovic told BBC Radio Solent: “First and foremost, Neto has been fantastic.

“Obviously a top-level goalkeeper, who has played at the highest level for many, many years.

“Of course for Trav it's an experience, it's part of development.

“There's going to be ups and downs in football, there's no doubt about it. It's never smooth sailing, that's for sure.

“He's maybe dealing with a bit of a different experience now after having the games over the year previous to that.

“I'm sure he'll take stock in the summer and see what he wants to do and I'm sure the club will as well.

“They've got a fantastic goalkeeper coach in Neil Moss and his staff. So they'll all put a plan together for his development and make sure he keeps going in the right direction.

“But it's part of a goalkeeper's life and a professional footballer's life. There's ups and downs and you have to take them all in your stride, deal with them in the best way possible."
