Bournemouth have signed Bristol City defender Lloyd Kelly.

The highly-rated 20-year-old arrives from Bristol City for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper on a long-term deal at Vitality Stadium.

“It's a fantastic club. The move has come around quite quickly, but I'm happy to be here and can't wait to start playing," Kelly told afcbTV.

"Premier League football is what I've always wanted to achieve. I want to play as many games as possible and I feel like this is the right place for me to try and do that."

AFC Bournemouth manager, Eddie Howe, said: “Lloyd is an exciting talent and a player of real potential, while at the same time already possessing good experience for someone so young.

“He is athletic, versatile, physically excellent and has a very bright future ahead of him.

“I'm delighted that we have been able to strike so early in the summer and look forward to working with Lloyd during the coming seasons.
