- Development squad captain Greenwood announces his Cherries exit
Earlier this season, Plain kept six successive clean sheets for Alan Connell’s development squad.
Taking to Instagram, Plain wrote: “After six years this part of my journey at AFC Bournemouth has come to an end!
“Massive thanks to everyone associated for playing a part in my career so far!
“Met friends for life and made some great memories. Onto the next chapter.”
Plain follows development squad captain Ben Greenwood in announcing his exit this summer.
Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke has been told by Alan Hutton that a summer transfer to Tottenham is the right “next step” to take in his career.
The 26-year-old was in electric form for the Cherries last season, scoring 19 goals and laying on three assists in his 38 Premier League appearances to help Andoni Iraola’s side finish 12th in the table, 22 points off of the drop zone.
Solanke’s excellent form is believed to have caught the eye of a number of teams in the Premier League, with Ange Postecoglou’s Lilywhites reportedly considering a summer swoop to take him away from the South Coast [talkSPORT, 21 May].
While it remains to be seen if the former Chelsea man would be interested in making the switch to East London this summer, Hutton admits that he thinks he could replace Harry Kane as Spurs’ 20-goal-a-season striker.
“I think he could fill that role,” Hutton told Tottenham News.
“He’s had an outstanding season. He’s not made it into the England squad which he’s probably a little bit down about, but he scores goals, he holds the ball up, he links the play and he’s confident.
