Carlisle sign Uganda defender Mugabi

Bevis Mugabi scored seven league goals during his five years with Motherwell

Carlisle United have signed former Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi on a two-year contract.

The 30-year-old left the Scottish club last summer after making 125 appearances and has since had a spell in Cypriot football with Anorthosis.

Mugabi, who had spells in the youth set-up at Fulham and Southampton before joining Yeovil Town in 2016, has won 20 caps for Uganda.

"He brings a wealth of experience from Scotland, abroad and international football, and he has a fantastic attitude which will help to drive the standards even higher on and off the pitch," said Carlisle head of recruitment Martin Foyle.

Mugabi is the sixth new signing by the Cumbrians since losing their place in the English Football League.

Mark Hughes' side begin life in National League with a trip to face Woking on 9 August.
