Bournemouth news: Steve Cook praises young Cherries defenders

Former Bournemouth defender Steve Cook spoke to BBC Radio Solent about the current defenders at the club: “At such a young age, they are playing with such a maturity and I think the recruitment in that department has been amazing.

“I have played with some good centre-halves in my time, but to play with them would have been amazing.

“It’s a great back four, and I thought Adam Smith was superb [against Fulham]. He has been out for a long time and come in and put up a performance – that sums up his professionalism and is a great representative of the club.”
