Former non-league star Bartley is close to finalising a new deal with the Cherries after impressing during 21 appearances last term, but with healthy competition for midfield spots at Dean Court, the powerful competitor has been working hard to give himself the edge.
"I'm definitely looking forward to the season," he told the Daily Echo.
"I've enjoyed the break but I'm getting bored and miss football, so I can't wait to get back stuck in. I was sent a schedule by (physio) Steve Hard and I've been keeping to that, which started on June 1.
