Bournemouth's Tokelo Rantie Could Be Loaned

Bournemouth's Tokelo Rantie Could Be Loaned

Bafana Bafana and Bournemouth striker, Tokelo Rantie, could be loaned out once he returns to full fitness, this according to head coach Eddie Howe.

The 25-year-old has been sidelined since picking up a serious shin injury during the first-half of the Cherries' FA Cup win at Birmingham in January.

The former Orlando Pirates forward subsequently returned to South Africa, but returned to England, in an attempt to get his fitness levels up.

Rantie's coach, Eddie Howe, hinted at the possibility of a loan move for Rantie who has battled for game time in the UK since making the move from Malmo in Sweden.

Howe told the Daily Echo: "TK is back and is just starting his first steps towards training again.

"He had a nasty injury but we have had the scans checked and he has got no problems now. It's a case of building up his fitness."

The Cherries mentor further added that with the season almost over, a loan move could be best for the former Malmo striker.

"There is not much time left in the season, but if he can get himself fit, we might look at a loan, if he wanted to.

"It would be a chance for him to go out and get some games somewhere. But we will wait and see."

Rantie was not named in Cherries' 25-man Premier League squad at the start of February, but managed to retain his spot in the national team for the upcoming 2017 AFCON qualifiers later this month.
