CHERRIES have completed the signing of Romanian youth international Mihai Dobre.

Winger Dobre, who turned 18 on Tuesday, will initially form part of the club’s under-21s squad.

He joins Cherries from top-flight Romanian side Viitorul Constanta, who are managed by ex-Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder Gheorghe Hagi.

Speaking to the club website, under-21s boss Stephen Purches said: "Mihai is a player our recruitment department have known about for some time.

"He’ll add further competition for places within the under-21s and we’re looking forward to working with him. We are excited about his potential and future at AFC Bournemouth."

Meanwhile, under-21s striker Sam Surridge has joined Poole Town on loan until January.

Surridge, who started the recent Premier League Cup defeat to Burnley, will link up with a side which has made a positive start to life in National South following promotion last season.

Striker Brandon Goodship and midfielder Sam Matthews have joined National League outfit Braintree Town on loan until January.

Goodship spent time at Yeovil Town last season, netting his first Football League goal against Dagenham & Redbridge in February.

Matthews signed professionally for Cherries in 2014 after making first-team appearances against Real Madrid and West Ham United.

The under-21s duo could make their respective debuts in Saturday's game at Guiseley.
