​Bournemouth agree extension with talented youngster Simpson

Bournemouth have agreed on a contract extension with Jack Simpson.

The 21-year-old has been a mainstay with the club since he was eight.

And he was the first academy graduate to start in the Premier League when he played in the 4-0 loss to Manchester City last season.

Now he has agreed on a deal that will take him to 2021.

"At the start of September they told me they wanted to give me an extension on what I already had, I was delighted about that," Simpson told the club's website.

"Now we've been through the process of getting it sorted and signed and I'm very happy to have signed another new contract.

"It's great that the management believe in me and it's great to have the opportunity to play here."
