May 26 (Reuters) - Premier League newcomers Bournemouth have signed Poland goalkeeper Artur Boruc on a free transfer following his release by Southampton, the club said in a statement on Tuesday.
Boruc, 35, helped Bournemouth win promotion to the top flight during a loan spell for most of last season.
The former Celtic stopper, who played 39 times and kept 18 clean sheets in all competitions for Bournemouth, has signed a one-year deal, with the option for a further 12 months.
He arrived at the club on a short-term loan deal in September and helped the Cherries push for promotion, leading to an extension in January until the end of the campaign.
