David Brooks was thrilled to be part of Bournemouth's shock win against Liverpool.

The winger hailed the 'special' feeling of returning to Bournemouth's squad for the first time in 529 days following his cancer diagnosis.

The Wales attacker, 25, was a substitute in the Cherries' 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday.

Brooks was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2021 but revealed he was 'cancer free' last October.

Brooks tweeted: “529 days I've had to wait for that feeling!

“Been a long wait and a very difficult period for me and my family but to be able to step back on that football pitch and feel part of the team again was special!

“Thanks to all the fans for the great reception."
