The Northern Ireland Under-21 international has signed a deal that will keep him with Carlisle until the end of the season.

Manager Greg Abbott told the club's official website: "He's come to us highly recommended and we're pleased that we've got him.

"The references coming in about him are exactly what you want to hear and this is one that we hope will develop into a permanent deal."

Abbott added: "He's a very good athlete, he uses the ball well and he can cover right across the defence.

"Hopefully he will come here and enjoy his football and develop himself further with us."
