Carlisle United have signed Paul Dummett on a short-term contract until the end of the season.

Dummett, 33, moves to Brunton Park after the expiration of a deal with League One Wigan Athletic where he made five appearances.

He is the sixth player to join Carlisle - the club bottom of League Two - this month.

But as Dummett arrives, AFC Bournemouth have recalled duo Dan Adu-Adjei and Dominic Sadi from their loan spells at the Cumbrian club.

Dummett left Newcastle United last summer, having come through the ranks at St James' Park where he made 213 appearances.

His time there coincided with Carlisle head coach Mike Williamson for whom he will now be playing.

"He brings a lot of experience at a high level. I think he'll be a really good influence on the changing room on and off the field," Williamson told the club's website, external.

Adu-Adjei and Sadi were both on season-long loans with Carlisle, but the Cherries have brought them back early after suffering a spate of injuries.

Forward Adu-Adjei, 19, played 17 games, while winger Sadi, 21, made 25 appearances, with both scoring two goals.
