Norwich City's Andrew Surman joins Bournemouth on loan

Norwich City midfielder Andrew Surman has joined Championship side Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal.

The 26-year-old has linked up with the Cherries three days before their Championship opener against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

Surman, who has represented the England Under-21s despite being born in South Africa, had a six-month spell on loan with the south coast club in 2006, scoring six goals in the process.

Surman joins former Norwich defender Elliott Ward at the Goldsands Stadium and becomes manager Eddie Howe's fourth summer signing.
