Experienced Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc has signed a new one-year contract at Bournemouth.

The 36-year-old had already activated a clause in his contract that would see him remain with the Cherries for the 2016-17 campaign, but Bournemouth offered a new and improved deal.

"Artur was excellent for us during last season and we're pleased to keep him on board for the coming Premier League campaign. A clause in Artur's contract meant he would be staying for another year but we offered him a new contract after his performances last term," Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake told the club's official website.

"We wish Artur all the best during his time with Poland at the European championships and hope he comes back with a successful tournament under his belt."

Boruc joined Bournemouth from Southampton in 2014, initially on loan, before making the move permanent in the summer of 2015. Last season, he made 32 Premier League appearances for Eddie Howe's side.
