LEE Tomlin believes he is Premier League quality and hankers a "fresh start" with Cherries.

Tomlin was speaking after netting a stunning goal for loan club Bristol City in their 4-0 win over Huddersfield on Saturday.

Accepting a Scott Golbourne pass on the edge of the box, he took one touch with his right foot to impudently lift the ball over his marker and a second to bury it in the roof of the net with an unstoppable left-foot volley.

City boss Lee Johnson described it as ''a touch of genius'', with the strike expected to win the club's goal-of-the-season award.

Johnson has already said he would be keen to sign Tomlin permanently but the 27-year-old, who was loaned out in January, will return to Vitality Stadium to discuss his future with Eddie Howe at the end of the season.

Tomlin said: “For the time being, the decision is out of my hands. I just have to play football as well as I can.

“I’ve got a game next week then I’ve got to go back to Bournemouth and I’m sure I will have talks then.

“The Premier League is unbelievable. That’s what I’ve worked so hard for.

“I definitely feel that I am a Premier League regular, I have no question about that.

“It’s all about opportunities and, if you don’t get it then you’ve got to look elsewhere.

“The lads at Bournemouth have been unbelievable. They’ve stayed in the league and are kicking on again.

“They are a great, talented bunch and the gaffer has been unbelievable there as well and deserves every bit of success he’s had this season.

“I just want to play football. It might be a fresh start next season, you never know. I’ve just got to speak to the gaffer.

“Not being big-headed but on the pitch you see players, who are being linked to the Premier League, but can they do what I can?”

But Tomlin stole the show with his sixth and best strike for the Robins that had the fans chanting: “Sign him on”.

Their reaction surprised and delighted Tomlin, who added: “I’ve never had this much before.

“I’m that sort of player, every time I get the ball I want to do something special.

“The fans haven’t been on my back-they’ve been unbelievable since I’ve been here and that goal was for them.

“Once I know that I feel loved then I can play my best football.”
