Bradbury lands Cherries job

28 January 2011 11:00
Bournemouth have appointed Lee Bradbury as their new manager. Bradbury, 35, will be assisted by veteran striker Steven Fletcher after the pair were handed two-and-a-half year contracts. After a successful spell in caretaker charge, the former Cherries forward is confident he can emulate Eddie Howe's success at Dean Court. "I am pleased with the outcome and more than confident," he said. "The lads are 100% behind us. With the team we've got, we have the best chance of being successful. Thanks to the chairman and the club for this opportunity." Bradbury also praised Fletcher's contribution so far. "Fletch has been a really big help and on the playing side remains a big threat," he added.
