Manager Paul Simpson has expressed Carlisle United’s proactive stance in the summer transfer market, aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the 2024/25 League Two season. Since the opening of the EFL transfer window on June 14, the Blues have wasted no time, securing four new signings.
Among the new recruits are Scottish goalkeeper Jude Smith, defender Cameron Harper from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and Aaron Hayden, who returns to Carlisle for his second stint after spells at Wrexham AFC. Recently, the club also finalized a two-year deal with Saint Lucian defender Terell Thomas, following his departure from Charlton Athletic.
Despite these early acquisitions, Simpson emphasized that there’s still work to be done, particularly in reinforcing their defensive line. He commented on the club’s website, indicating their active pursuit of additional signings. “We’ve still got one area in defence to resolve which we’re working on,” Simpson stated. “We’re also exploring other opportunities, though specifics remain confidential until deals are finalized.”
Simpson’s determination to strengthen the squad reflects Carlisle United’s ambition to improve upon their previous season’s performance. Fans can expect further developments as the transfer window progresses, with the club committed to securing the right talent to enhance their roster for the challenges ahead in League Two.
