LUCKLESS Cherries midfielder Mark Molesley has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a persistent foot injury.[LNB] Molesley was hoping to play some part in Cherries' promotion run-in after making progress following surgery in January.[LNB] But the 28-year-old, who has been sidelined for five months by the problem, broke down during some light running exercises.[LNB] Cherries boss Eddie Howe today confirmed Molesley would again be forced to go under the knife for a second operation.[LNB] Meanwhile, Cherries have marked Steve Fletcher's unstinting loyalty to the club by renaming the North Stand at Dean Court in his honour.[LNB] The popular terrace, which houses home supporters, will be known as The Steve Fletcher Stand for the next five years.[LNB] Fletcher, who first joined Cherries in 1992 before returning last season, is the club's appearance record-holder, having played 639 times.[LNB] Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell told the club website: "We are privileged to be able to name the stand after Steve Fletcher. The renaming of the North Stand is a great way to honour Steve's service to the club and he is a much-loved player among the supporters and wider community."[LNB] The stand will be officially unveiled as The Steve Fletcher Stand at the Bradford City game on Saturday.[LNB]
