Salisbury sign young Cherries midfielder

Friday, 10 January 2025 11:00

Salisbury FC have announced the signing of AFC Bournemouth Under-21 midfielder Lewis Brown on loan.

Brown, 20, can also play in the full-back position on both sides of the pitch and joins Brian Dutton's squad ahead of this Saturday's fixture against Farnborough.

The young midfielder, a member of the AFC Bournemouth Under 21 squad, has also spent time on loan at Wimborne Town, AFC Totton and Truro City over the last couple of seasons.

He is a product of the AFC Bournemouth academy, having been at the club since joining their under-7s side.

After finalising the signing, Brian Dutton said, "We're delighted to have Lewis on board. He has shown a real willingness and attitude to go out and prove himself at non-league having already had a loan at Truro last season.

"He's a young energetic midfielder with a bright future we're really excited to have him on board and strengthen our relationship with Bournemouth.

"I am sure supporters will enjoy his all-action displays."
