Bournemouth news: 'Really exciting here' - James Hill extends contract Bournemouth news: 'Really exciting here' - James Hill extends contract

SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • BBC.CO.UK

Inks contract extension Hill has signed a contract extension with Bournemouth until 2029, the club announced.

Impact Hill will remain with the Cherries for the next four seasons after signing a contract extension on Monday. The right-back arrived at Bournemouth in 2022 and spent time on loan with Heart of Midlothian and Blackburn Rovers. This season, he featured three times as a backup option to Adam Smith and is expected to see increased playing time in the coming fixtures with the starter sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Back after one match out Hill (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Hill returns after missing last week's match against Manchester City through injury. The fullback hasn't featured in a match since April 5th and hasn't started since March.

MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chance for return Hill (knee) has a chance to return for Sunday's clash with Leicester, per manager Andoni Iraola. "[Alex] Scott and [James] Hill could have a chance."

Impact Hill missed out against Manchester City in the FA Cup final due to a knee injury. Prior to missing out there he had gone unused on the bench in five straight matches. Even if he's deemed fit enough to return for the Premier League finale, there's no guarantee Hill is ready for a large role.

MAY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Wolves Hill (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Hill returns after missing the last five matches through injury. The fullback has flashed upside when in the XI combining for six crosses and two chances created with one assist in his five appearances.

Impact Hill could be an option Saturday despite a hamstring injury. The defender actually had taken a starting role at right-back before the injury, and could compete for significant minutes in that role now that he's fit again.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Newcastle game Hill (hamstring) is unavailable for Saturday's match versus Newcastle United.

Impact Hill will miss at least one game due to a recent hamstring injury and will be re-evaluated ahead of next Saturday's match versus Nottingham Forest. Lewis Cook is filling in for him in the midfield.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling with hamstring Hill (hamstring) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, manager Andoni Iraola told Alex Smith of the Echo.

Impact Hill had to come off during Tuesday's trip to Chelsea, but despite a confirmed hamstring injury he could be back for a Saturday Newcastle match. It's about as good of a sign as possible, with the worries for a far more significant hamstring issue. Lewis Cook could deputize at right-back if Hill can't go.

Brought off Tuesday Hill was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Tuesday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Hill got the start at right-back for the fourth match in a row and was brought off before 30 minutes. It's a brutal turn for the young right-back, who has done pretty well in the first team. Justin Kluivert came on to replace him, shifting Lewis Cook back to right-back to fill in for Hill.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assist in first start Hill assisted once to go with three crosses (not accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Fulham.

Impact Hill made his first start of the season Sunday and delivered a solid contribution to the Cherries performance. He got his opportunity through regular starters Marcos Senesi and Julian Araujo being out with long term injuries. The 22-year-old executed three clearances, two interceptions and a tackle, he also engaged in seven duels, winning three of them. His big contribution though was delivering the assist for Bournemouth's opening goal, scored by Evanilson. He was subbed after 82 minutes. Hill is likely to make more starts and bench appearances while his team mates remain injured.

Starts Sunday, earns assist Hill registered one assist on two chances created to go along with one tackle won, two interceptions and three clearances in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Fulham.

Impact Hill saw his first start of the season Sunday, making only his third appearance of the season. He was decent in his time on the field, notching an assist, being his first goal contribution of the season. He was also okay in the defense, notching one tackle won, two interceptions and three clearances. He will look to continue in the starting XI after the solid outing, although that is up in the air.

Back on bench Hill (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Luton Town.

Impact Hill suffered the ankle injury in January and has been sidelined for more than a month and a half. The defender is now back on the bench, where he will hope to begin his career with the Cherries properly. The defender could struggle for playing time now that some of the other full-back options have recovered from various injuries.

Suffers ankle injury Hill suffered a likely high ankle sprain in Thursday's FA Cup match, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "He is feeling pain in the ankle, so I suppose it is going to be a high ank...

Impact It's yet another full-back injury for Bournemouth, who only recalled Hill from his loan because they were already short. The return of Lloyd Kelly and Milos Kerkez is helpful, but now there's a question as to who will play right-back for the Cherries. Lewis Cook moved them following Hill's injury Thursday, but Kelly was already off the pitch at that point.
