Bournemouth winger Marc Pugh has hailed the impact that manager Eddie Howe has had on his career.
In what is his second spell in charge of the Cherries, Howe has effectively guided the club to the Premier League following their 3-0 win over Bolton Wanderers last night.
Speaking after that triumph, Pugh, who was signed by Howe from Hereford United in 2010, paid tribute to his boss.
"The gaffer has come back and been brilliant," the 28-year-old told the club's official website.
"He's given the club a new lease of life and I have a lot to thank him for. He's brought me on and developed me as a player. I owe everything to him."
Only a 19-goal swing on the final day of the season will stop Bournemouth from securing their spot in the top flight.
