Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks: Starting XI my next goal

Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks says his next target is a Premier League start.

The Wales winger made a two-year comeback last season after recovering from Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Brooks told the Daily Echo: “Towards the end of last season I was just trying to get back and try and be involved in whatever minutes I can.

“This season is different.

“I've been in the full pre-season and my aim is to start that first game of the season.

“I'm trying to put myself in the view of the gaffer and obviously two goals is quite nice in the three games.

“Hopefully I can get some more minutes and get some more goals in the next two."

He later added: “I was just desperate to get back into a Bournemouth shirt and a Wales shirt.

“Now that's ticked off, it's trying to get myself back in that starting XI and showing everyone what I can do."
