Simpson has played in three first-team games this season, all in the Carabao Cup, where he has helped Bournemouth reach the quarter-finals - they face Chelsea on December 19.

"At the start of September they told me they wanted to give me an extension on what I already had, I was delighted about that," Simpson told the club's website.
