WEYMOUTH have signed AFC Bournemouth defender Ben Greenwood on a month's loan.

Greenwood, primarily a left-back, will go straight into the squad for the Terras' Vanarama National League clash at in-form Torquay on Saturday (3pm).

Greenwood, 19, has been training with the Bournemouth first-team this season after signing his first professional contract last summer.

He has previous loan experience with Poole and Wimborne in 2020 and becomes the fifth signing of the David Oldfield era.

Mannie Mampala, Aaron Drewe, Harvey Bunker and Dan Smith are the previous four, the latter having left the club.

Oldfield told uptheterras.co.uk: "We would like to welcome Ben to the club and we all very much look forward to working with him.

"He’s a good young player, that will be a strong asset to the group."

Greenwood has started all six of the Cherries' Premier League Cup games this season.

Meanwhile, Dorset star Brennan Camp has extended his loan with National League rivals Eastleigh.
