Paul Groves has been confirmed as the new Bournemouth Football Club manager.

The 46-year-old was placed in caretaker charge of the League One club when Lee Bradbury was axed in March, and he has seen his side lose just twice in eight games since.

Groves has now been rewarded for this turnaround with a permanent contract to remain as manager, which is designed to last for a minimum of two years.

“I feel very privileged. I think it's a fantastic club in a good position at this moment in time,” he said. "It has made excellent strides forward and we want to continue that work.”
