Saints keeper Boruc to stay with Bournemouth

Experienced goalkeeper Boruc moved along the south coast in September and has helped Bournemouth to the top of the Championship.

The 34-year-old will now stay with Eddie Howe's side for the remainder of the campaign, although he will not be eligible for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Rotherham United due to the transfer window not re-opening until the morning of the game.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman acknowledged Boruc's opportunities at St Mary's Stadium were aways likely to be limited following the close-season arrival of Fraser Forster.

"It was not an easy one but when I came I knew it was his last season of contract," said Koeman.

"We wanted to bring in a new goalkeeper, our priority was Fraser Forster and he's shown this season why we changed that.

"That's nothing against Artur because Artur did well for the club but it was a decision for the future of the club and of the team."

Boruc has made 18 appearances for Bournemouth in all competitions, keeping nine clean sheets.
