Meadows Tuson most recently played for Real Bedford as they won the FA Women’s National League Division One South East, finishing two points ahead of Norwich City.
The defender also played for Maidenhead United last season, featuring as the Cherries beat them 3-0 in January, as well as also playing for Reading in the Championship previously.
The 19-year-old told afcb.co.uk: “I am really happy and excited. Everyone has been really welcoming. I am really looking forward to pre-season and then the season to follow.
“When I played against AFC Bournemouth last season, they seemed a really positive team. They were aggressive, on the front foot, willing to defend but also a really hard team to play against.

“I’m a body on the line centre-back, not afraid of a challenge but I would say also quite composed in possession.”
Meadows Tuson has her own coaching business, is studying for a degree in Natural Sciences and is working to become a personal trainer alongside her football, as well as previously playing in the USA at St John’s University.
She will wear the number six shirt for the Cherries.
Manager Steve Cuss said: “We are really pleased to make Freya our latest signing at AFC Bournemouth and are looking forward to working with her.
“She is someone we have watched a lot of and been impressed by, having played for Maidenhead against us in Division One South West last season.
“While she is still only young she has a lot of experience, has won league titles, and will bring a lot of quality to our squad going forward.”
