Bournemouth manager Iraola happy with Travers progress at Stoke

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola admits he is closely watching a goalkeeper who is out on loan.

Iraola has been keeping tabs on the performances of Mark Travers at Stoke City.

The Republic of Ireland international did play for Iraola in pre-season, but then went on loan to play regularly.

Speaking about the 24-year-old, Iraola told the Daily Echo: He has been playing, he is doing really well.

We also have Will Dennis on loan. We are also in contact with him.

I think it was a good chance, he (Travers) wanted to play.

I was very happy with his performances in training in pre-season, but I think he demanded the loan move.

I think he is doing well, he is in permanent contact, especially with Neil Moss, he is our goalkeeping specialist.

I hope he continues in the same way."
