Cherries: Lee hopes to complete big achievement

EXPERIENCED campaigner Lee Bradbury admits that promotion this season would rank as one of the finest achievements in his 15 years in professional football.[LNB] Cherries' veteran utility man has been a dependable performer as Eddie Howe's side have set about achieving honours in League Two this term.[LNB] And Bradbury, who has played for the likes of Manchester City and Crystal Palace in a career which has seen him command transfer fees approaching £5million, is keen to play a part in something special.[LNB] Given the circumstances and lack of players, he believes helping Cherries earn a place in League One would be one of the best moments of his career.[LNB] Bradbury said: Getting promoted with a squad as thin as ours would be a great achievement at any level.[LNB] It's a hard league to get out of and if we could do it with 15 or so players it would be an amazing achievement.[LNB] I've never been in a squad as thin as this. It's really tight and, as long as we stick together, I think we've got more than enough to be at the right end of the table.[LNB] If we got promoted or into the play-offs with a squad ranging from 13 to 17 players at times at best, that would be a massive achievement.[LNB] Signed by Kevin Bond in August 2007, the 34-year-old will be at Dean Court again next season after triggering a clause in his contract by making his 30th appearance of the season in the win over Crewe on January 30.[LNB]
