Former Coventry City defender Elliott Ward has signed a new contract with AFC Bournemouth.
The centre half joined the Cherries in the summer and has signed a two and a half year deal.
Ward told the AFC Bournemouth website: “When I signed the one-year contract it was with the view of seeing how things would go and I’ve really enjoyed myself over these first six months,” he told afcb.co.uk. “It’s been good for both me and the club; we have worked well together so far.
“We had a good start and we had to learn quickly with a few of the results we had, but that’s fine. Everything was quite new to the club but together I think we have pulled through quite well.
“It’s been important for me to see how the club works and where they want to go to, and we have taken some good steps forward this season.
“There is a long way to go but I’ve really bought into what the club wants to do and how far they want to go. Hopefully I can be a part of that.”
