YOUNG [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) striker Jonny Stuttle has signed a new deal at the club and has completed a loan move to League Two Walsall.

Stuttle impressed on loan at Farnborough in the National League South last season, with ten goals in 19 games.

The Weymouth-born striker has been with the Cherries since the age of 11, and he said he was delighted to sign a new contract.

The 19-year-old told afcb.co.uk: “I had a good season last year. I started well with the development squad and then went on loan to Aldershot, that was a good experience.

“Then the loan at Farnborough went really well and has put me in good stead.”

Stuttle said he was ‘buzzing’ for the season to come at the Saddlers.

“It will be a great experience in a great league with a massive club,” he said.

“I am excited to be there. I will give it 100 per cent and everything I’ve got. It’s a massive opportunity for me and one that I’m ready to take.”

Academy manager Sam Gisborne said: “We are delighted to see Jonny sign a new deal at AFC Bournemouth.

“He has been a proven goalscorer throughout our academy age groups and has gained valuable experience during his loan spells.

“We wish him all the best during his loan at Walsall, where we will continue to monitor his progress, but personally I can’t wait to watch him there.”
