Carlisle sign Peterborough's Conn-Clarke on loan

Chris Conn-Clarke was National League Player of the Year in 2023-24

Carlisle United have signed Chris Conn-Clarke on loan from Peterborough United until January.

Conn-Clarke, 23, scored just one goal in 30 appearances for Posh last season having moved from Altrincham and has not featured at all this campaign.

But the former Northern Ireland Under-21 attacking midfielder was National League Player of the Year in 2023-24, scoring 22 goals for Alty in a team which also included Carlisle striker Regan Linney, who scored 14 in the season they played together.

"Chris brings with him a proven track record at this level, and his experience, along with his technical ability, makes him a valuable addition to the squad," head coach Mark Hughes told the club's website.

"We're confident that his presence will make a significant impact, not just in terms of goals and assists, but in the overall dynamics of our attacking play."

Carlisle are third in the National League after 14 games, one points behind leaders Rochdale.
