Gareth Williams

Striker GARETH WILLIAMS has joined Bournemouth on a month's loan.

A spell in the Second Division side's first-team will give the young Welshman much-needed first-team experience.

He has found it difficult to break into Iain Dowie's side due to the high-scoring partnership of Neil Shipperley and Andy Johnson.

WILLIAMS, 21, spent two months at Cambridge earlier in the season and had a prolific spell at Colchester last campaign.
