Brad Smith is open to the chance at staying at Bournemouth.

Smith concluded his 15-month loan stay by helping Sounders lift the MLS Cup with victory over Toronto FC last weekend.

He told Australian Associated Press: "There's always a chance in football. Things change very quickly and ultimately me going out on loan and getting game time is important for me and important for Bournemouth as well.

"I've kind of got into form and proved I'm still a player.

"I'll go back and sit down and maybe he (manager Eddie Howe) wants me in his plans and if that's the case then I'm happy to be a part of it and be there."
