Carlisle sign prolific Altrincham striker Linney

Regan Linney has scored 44 goals in two-and-a-half seasons with Altrincham

Prolific Altrincham striker Regan Linney has signed for Carlisle United for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old, whose 25 goals for the Robins earned him a place in the National League team of the season, joins the relegated Cumbrians on a three-year deal.

He scored 44 goals in 93 total appearances for Alty and head coach Mark Hughes said he likes Linney's "flexibility".

"We like the way he goes about his business, he's got flexibility which is important and he can play down the middle or from the left, and he scored a lot of goals from that position last season," Hughes said.
