Vancouver Whitecaps forward Mattocks to train with AFC Bournemouth

English Championship club AFC Bournemouth have taken Vancouver Whitecaps forward Darren Mattocks in for a training stint.

The 24-year old Jamaica international will spend a week with the Cherries who currently sit on top of England's tier two table.

Mattocks recently helped Jamaica take out the 2014 Caribbean Cup in November, scoring three goals to win the Golden Boot award alongside Haiti's Kervens Belfort and Trinidad & Tobago's Kevin Molino.

The former Akron Zips ace was selected by the Whitecaps with the second overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft and has gone onto make 71 appearances which have yielded 16 goals and five assists.
