BOURNEMOUTH boss Eddie Howe believes that age is just a number for Ireland veteran Ian Harte after handing the 36-year-old a new contract.
BOURNEMOUTH boss Eddie Howe believes that age is just a number for Ireland veteran Ian Harte after handing the 36-year-old a new contract.
Harte has helped the Cherries stay in contention for the promotion play-offs this season and the Drogheda native has already bagged a new deal which will keep him at the club until the end of next season.
"A lot is made of players' ages as they get into their mid-to-late 30s, but age is no barrier if you have the dedication and Ian has that. I judge him on what he produces, not his age," said Howe.
