'A place I've come to love' - Tavernier on new Bournemouth deal
- Published
Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier says he is "delighted" after signing a contract extension over the weekend, keeping him at the club until 2029.
The 26-year-old winger joined the Cherries in the summer of 2022 for about £10m and has made 93 appearances, scoring 13 goals.
His initial deal ran until 2027.
"I'm very grateful for everything Bournemouth have given me over the past few years," Tavernier told the club's official website.
"I'm just delighted they've shown their appreciation of me to sign a new extension and to stay at this club where I'm having such a great time.
"It's a place I've come to love and it's my home away from home, so it's a really good feeling, not just for myself but my family as well."
Bournemouth's president of football operations, Tiago Pinto, added: "Marcus is a player who always gives his all whenever he wears the shirt and is someone that we thoroughly enjoy working with.
"He is a popular character within the dressing room and I'm looking forward to seeing his leadership shine through over the next few seasons at AFC Bournemouth, as the demands and challenges of the Premier League remain high."
