AFC Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie has experienced a quite remarkable season.
The Cherries winger, who made the move to Dean Court in January 2013 when he was signed by AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe for £500,000 from Swindon Town has impressed throughout the three tiers of the Football League.
He has previously won the League Two and League One players of the season awards, whilst he has also won the FourFourTwo fans award for the best player in the Football League this season.
Ritchie’s performances have been rewarded with his first international call-up and two caps for Scotland.
On Monday night, the Cherries clinched virtual promotion to the Premier League and on Saturday away to Charlton the Cherries still hold a chance of winning the Championship title.
Ritchie told the Daily Echo…
“At the age of 25, I feel like I am getting to where I need to be. Hopefully, I can step up to the plate next season along with the other lads and prove that we are good enough to be in the Premier League, individually and collectively.
“We have achieved something special here and got to where we wanted and felt we needed to be. Every player strives to be at the very top level and hopefully we can go there as champions before making sure we prepare properly for next season.
“We have goals for next season as well so this is no time to be resting on what we have achieved. There is a lot of belief this group can kick on again.”
