Derrick Jones back from training stint with AFC Bournemouth

Philadelphia Union midfielder Derrick Jones recently spent time in England training with Premier League club AFC Bournemouth.

The training stint was not announced ahead of time, but the Union posted a video of Jones and Sporting Director Earnie Stewart talking about the experience online on Monday.

The 20-year-old homegrown player trained with Bournemouth’s U23 team and first team while with the club.

“It was very hard, you know you have to be concentrated the whole time to get through the training session,” Jones said of his time with the first team in the video.
