Dartford striker Charlie Sheringham finalises move to AFC Bournemouth
Comments |
Dartford striker Charlie Sheringham has completed his move to
League 1 side AFC Bournemouth.
Darts chairman Bill Archer confirmed on Thursday morning with
'mixed emotions' that the deal the 23-year-old had gone
through.
A statement on Dartford's website said: "We will be very sad to
see Charlie go as he was a vital part of our push for promotion, on
the other hand we are a progressive club and would not stand in the
way of a player obtaining his potential.
"Everyone at the club wishes him good luck in the future."
No fee was given for the deal but a figure of £25,000 was being
rumoured earlier this week.
Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury said: "This is a good signing
for us. He is a good player with good movement and he's scored lots
of goals. He ticks all the boxes for what we are looking for.
"He is stepping up in to training, with quality players that we
have, and with it being full-time that can only be of benefit to
him."
Bradbury confirmed he was looking to get his new recruit
involved in the Bournemouth squad for Saturday's home game against
Bury.
Sheringham’s form this season had attracted the attentions of
numerous Football League clubs.
His departure leaves Darts boss Tony Burman with the
task of replacing a player who has netted 12 goals
already this season.
Welling’s Andy Pugh and Tonbridge’s Frannie Collin sit alongside
Sheringham in the Blue Square Bet South scoring charts, while Tom
Bradbrook, the brother of Darts skipper Elliot, has earned rave
reviews at Ryman League, Premier Division Margate.
