Whitehaven-born Kyle Dempsey began his career in Carlisle's academy

Fleetwood Town have signed midfielder Kyle Dempsey on a three-year deal from Huddersfield Town following a successful loan spell.

Dempsey, 21, won the young player of the season award in 2016-17, scoring two goals in 46 games to help the Cod Army to the League One play-offs.

The ex-Carlisle academy player joined Huddersfield in July 2015, and has left after one goal in 24 games.

"His displays for us haven't gone unnoticed," chairman Andy Pilley said.

He told the club website: "This is a huge signal of intent for Fleetwood Town to be able to sign a player of Kyle's calibre on a permanent basis."
