Ryan Fraser signs new three-and-a-half-year Bournemouth contract

Ryan Fraser has committed his future to Bournemouth by signing a new contract with the Cherries.

The 22-year-old has been an impressive figure when used in Eddie Howe's team this season and has scored three goals, including in games against Liverpool and Arsenal.

The Scotsman, who has made 13 Premier League appearances in this campaign so far, has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

"Ryan has made huge strides in his development this season," Howe told the club's official website. "He has had to be patient for a regular opportunity here and the next step was to produce performances on a consistent basis.

"We are seeing that from him now. Ryan deserves all the accolades he has received and hopefully there are many more to come. I see a really bright future for him."

Chief executive Neill Blake added: "I am delighted that Ryan has put pen to paper on a new contract. He has been a very important player for the team this season, especially in the last couple of months, and has proved he is capable of playing at the highest level.

"We believe in producing and developing young, British talent and look forward to seeing Ryan continue to improve in an AFC Bournemouth shirt."

Fraser joined the Cherries from Aberdeen in 2013.
