CHERRIES youngster Noa Boutin has joined Southern League Premier Division South outfit Gosport Borough on a work experience loan.

The left-back, who is also adept on the wing, has previously spent time with Gosport’s divisional rivals Poole Town, as well as a spell at National League outfit Weymouth to start this campaign.

Former Cherries development squad head coach Mark Molesley was appointed director of football at Privett Park in November.

Paris-born Boutin was involved in Cherries’ 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at the weekend, serving as the spare man to the matchday squad.

A third-year scholar, the 19-year-old was named as Cherries’ Premier League scholar of the year last season.

He joined Cherries’ academy in the summer of 2020, arriving from AC Boulogne-Billancourt after rejecting offers from West Brom, Birmingham City, and Stoke City.
