Bournemouth defender Mepham reveals exit plan

Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham admits he could be on the move in January.

Mepham says a lack of minutes could force his hand.

Mepham told BBC Radio Solent: "The lads are flying, doing really well.

"Things are looking a lot healthier and suddenly you're looking at what's above you and not below.

"Individually it's tough. I have been in this position quite a few times with limited game time. Ultimately when the team is doing as well as they are there's not a lot you can do other than keep pushing in training and see where it takes you.

"Naturally you are more patient when the team is doing well.

You appreciate a manager will not look to rotate a winning team, and why would he?

At the same time it's important to push and ask the questions as it shows you care and as a professional athlete you train all week to play on the weekend.

If that's not happening, questions will be asked and there are conversations to be had."
