Dan Gosling: 'I wasn't given fair chance to succeed at Newcastle United'

New Bournemouth midfielder Dan Gosling has claimed that he wasn't given a 'fair chance' at Newcastle United to prove his worth.

The 24-year-old signed for Eddie Howe's Cherries side at the end of last season after leaving St James' Park.

The midfielder spent four years with the Magpies, but failed to secure a regular first-team spot at the North-East outfit under manager Alan Pardew.

Gosling told the Daily Echo: "I don't think I had the fairest of chances but that's football, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It was a place that I really enjoyed, but the football side was not what I had hoped for."

The former Everton player agreed a four-year deal with Bournemouth in May.
