Loanee striker Lauri Dalla Valle has committed his short-term future to AFC Bournemouth after agreeing to extend his loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old striker was midway through a one-month loan deal from Fulham, and has already scored twice since joining the Cherries.

The deal means that Dalla Valle will remain in a Cherries' shirt for the final ten games of the season, including any prospective play-off matches.

Player-assistant manager Steven Fletcher said: "He has done well and we were keen to keep him for the rest of the season. He had never played at this level before he came here. You need to get used to the pace of League One and he has scored a couple of outstanding goals."

Fletcher will hope the talented youngster will continue his rich vein of form as the team travel to Carlisle this Saturday, having already bagged a goal last week against south-coast rivals Southampton.
