Overview
- The club announced a three-year extension on Saturday, June 13, 2026, keeping Christie under contract through June 2029 as he joins Scotland at the World Cup.
- The new deal adds two years to the contract he signed in November 2023, shifting control of his future and making any transfer more costly for suitors.
- Tiago Pinto said the agreement rewards Christie's consistent contribution and leadership, and the player said signing before the tournament lets him focus on international duty.
- Christie has made 177 appearances for Bournemouth since joining from Celtic in August 2021, with 10 goals and 17 assists, and he played a key role in the club’s sixth-place finish that secured European qualification.
- The extension strengthens Bournemouth's core as the club prepares for extra fixtures in Europe next season and reduces the immediate likelihood of reported interest from clubs such as Aston Villa.
