Manchester United youngster Ethan Laird endured an up-and-down season on loan in his first taste of the Championship.
The 20-year-old spent the first part of the campaign at Swansea City before swapping to promotion-chasing Bournemouth in January. The decision was made by Laird's parent club to try and get him action within a team fighting at the top end of the division as opposed to the mid-table Swans.
And while Laird only managed to make six appearances for the Cherries, the season ended on a high as Scott Parker's side clinched a Premier League return by finishing second. "I didn’t stop screaming for days after the Forest game, I was keeping the vibes going in camp," Laird told Bournemouth's website, referring to the 1-0 win over Forest which secured automatic promotion.
