Bournemouth have signed forward Glenn Murray from Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee, the London club have announced.

"It feels great to finally be here," Murray told Bournemouth’s official website.

"I've come across the club a lot in my career and it's been great to see it progress.

"The way the boys play football is very exciting. It's front-footed and it will be nice to try and get some goals from it."

Former Carlisle, Rochdale and Brighton striker Murray joined Palace on a free transfer in 2011.

Murray scored 30 goals in Palace's passage to the play-off final in 2012/13, but missed the promotion due to a serious knee injury.

He spent part of last season on loan with Reading, where he scored eight goals in 18 league games, before returning to Selhurst Park.
