Charlie Daniels has signed a new three-year deal with Bournemouth, the club has announced.
The left-back, who today turned 31, netted his first goal of the Premier League season in the 2-1 loss to Manchester City prior to the international break, and will remain on the south coast until at least 2020.
“AFC Bournemouth defender Charlie Daniels has signed a new three-year contract,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“The 31-year-old, who has been a regular on the left-hand side of the Cherries rearguard over the past six years, will remain at Vitality Stadium until at least the summer of 2020.
“Daniels began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, rising through the ranks while enjoying loan spells at Chesterfield, Gillingham and Leyton Orient.
“He joined the O’s on a permanent basis in January 2009 and after close to three successful years at Brisbane Road, Daniels switched to AFC Bournemouth, initially on loan before making the move full-time.
“The full-back played a key role in the club’s rapid rise through League One and the Championship, before helping establish the Cherries in the Premier League.
“To date, Daniels has made 205 appearances for AFC Bournemouth, scoring 16 goals, including a goal of the season contender against Manchester City last month.”
