Cherries: Ings excited by loan deal

15 September 2010 07:00
DANNY Ings believes he will reap the benefits of time away from Dean Court as he bids to become Cherries' next homegrown hit.[LNB] The attacking prospect, who signed an initial three-month deal in the summer, was this week handed a contract extension by boss Eddie Howe that ties him to Cherries until at least the end of the season.[LNB] Ings, who made his senior debut in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Northampton last season, will now be keen to impress and has been given a chance to develop his skills with Dorchester Town.[LNB] The 18-year-old sealed a month's loan move to the Avenue Stadium at the end of last week.[LNB] And he made an immediate impact by netting the Magpies' only goal in a 2-1 defeat against Ebbsfleet United, his strike coming after a pass from ex-Cherries defender and newly-installed Dorchester skipper Scott Guyett.[LNB] Asked what he was hoping to get out of the loan spell, Ings said: Just minutes and games, and I want to help Dorchester out as well because they are struggling a little bit at the moment.[LNB] Playing for Dorchester was a real experience. It was more physical but I think it will benefit me a lot.[LNB] Ings, who was plagued by an abdominal injury for much of last season, is the latest in a long line of forwards to roll of the Cherries production line, following the successes of Sam Vokes, Brett Pitman and, most recently, Josh McQuoid.[LNB] Ings added: It's taken Josh a couple of years but he's got his chance and has taken it really well.[LNB] Hopefully, when I get my chance, I can take it as well.[LNB]
