CHERRIES' new training ground will be a ‘massive plus’ for the squad as it is set to move in in the new year.

Lewis Cook told the Daily Echo that he was ‘buzzing’ that the side are soon to move into the new state-of-the-art facilities at the former Canford Magna golf club.

“That’s a massive plus for me and the lads,” Cook said.

“Obviously me being here for a while now, I’ve always kind of expected it to happen at some point and I’m just buzzing it’s happening now.

“When we do eventually move into there, it will be nice and probably to look back on all the hard work that the managers who have been here and the club in general, whoever has been here, have done. It’s just nice to finally pay off.”

The AFC Bournemouth men’s first team are expected to move into the facility in January 2025.
