Lewis Grabban signs new Bournemouth contract

Bournemouth have confirmed that striker Lewis Grabban has signed a fresh three-year deal with the club.

The 25-year-old, who has scored seven goals in 15 appearances this season, has agreed a contract that will keep him at Dean Court until 2016.

Grabban has said that he is "pleased" to commit his future to the Championship outfit.

"I'm pleased to have it done because we've been trying to get it sorted for a while, so I'm looking forward to getting on with the football again," he told the club's official website.

"I still had two years left on my contract but the club wanted to extend it and I was more than happy to do that.

"It's a good place to be at the moment and the club is on the rise, so I see it as a positive thing to extend my stay here."

Grabban joined Bournemouth from Rotherham United in 2012.
