Cummings handed Cherries deal

Bournemouth have offered defender Warren Cummings a new one-year deal.

The 25-year-old missed all of last season with a broken leg and there had been doubts about his Cherries future.

He suffered a double leg fracture in Bournemouth's game against Swindon in March 2005, sparking fears that he would never be the same player as he once was.

However, Cummings has battled back to fitness and is hopeful of getting a full pre-season under his belt.

He will be further boosted by the club's faith in him, as manager Sean O'Driscoll looks ahead to the new season.
