ROBBIE BRADY HAS signed for Bournemouth until the end of the season, the Championship side has announced.
The Republic of Ireland player joins the Cherries after spending the last few months without a club following his departure from Burnley.
Bournemouth has the option to extend his stay at the end of his current deal.
Brady began his club career in Ireland before moving to Manchester United’s academy. From there, he impressed in the Premier League during stints with Hull City, Norwich and Burnley.
Swansea City were among the clubs who were linked to the 29-year-old since he became a free agent following the expiry of his Burnley contract at the end of June. But it’s the south of England outfit who has secured his services.
“To be able to sign a player of Robbie’s experience and calibre on a free transfer is a coup for the football club,” Chief executive Neill Blake said following Brady’s arrival.
“Robbie has huge quality and versatility to add another important option to Scott Parker and his coaching staff.
“Proven at the top level, Robbie knows what it takes to be a Premier League player and we’re delighted he has chosen to join us at Vitality Stadium.”

Best of luck to him, hope he gets his career back on track…. He could be a great asset and option for our young Irish team with his experience. Good move going to Bournemouth, they’re going well and will be in the mix for promotion.
@Jerriko17: hope he does well but has prob 10 good games in an otherwise mediocre career. Honesty he disappointed me cos I though he would come out good.
@Martin Glynn: he’s not impressed with Marty Glynn either I’ve heard!
@Jerriko17: all good, but he has to make the team, sitting on the bench no good.
Don’t see him as first choice for Ireland at this stage,but he adds a bit of experience to the squad and offers a decent option wide on the left of midfield
@Lesidees: where did it all go wrong for him?
@Ciaran O’Mara: injuries and a negative style of play at Burnley. Hopefully he can kick on from here for a few more years.
Last chance saloon.
At 29yrs of age he should be playing his best football now, up to him what he makes of this chance. Never fulfilled his potential.
Strikes me as someone who lives on few past glories.. Little desire to push on and create new glories and better himself as a player. Very injury prone too, which isn’t his fault of course to be fair
@Nigel o’Neill: could not agree more. Does not get involved in the game . A bit similar to Hourihane
Too late for him.
There is reason nobody wanted to sign him
Great to see
