Manager Keith Curle has signed a contract extension with Carlisle United to run until June 2018.

The 51-year-old former England defender took over in September last year and has guided them to ninth in League Two this season, just two points outside the play-off places.

Cambridge United have brought in Oxford United defender Cameron Gayleon a loan deal until January.

The 23-year-old former Shrewsbury full-back joined Oxford earlier this month on an initial one-month trial.

Gayle has since extended his contract with Michael Appleton's side for a further two months, which he will spend on loan at the Abbey Stadium.

Andy Murray has responded to criticism from a former Davis Cup captain calling it "a bit of a shame".

Former GB captain David Lloyd accused Murray in an interview at the weekend of not doing enough to promote tennis in Britain.

Murray said: "It was a bit of a shame. But it's obviously not been the first time that's happened. It's a bit like background music - you know it's there but you're not really listening.

"We may not get the outcome that we want, but it won't be through lack of trying or lack of care from anyone in the team."

He may be the bookies' favourite to take over, but Gary Rowett is staying put... for the time being, at least.

Ian Holloway is perhaps best known for his amusing soundbites but the speed at which his backings turn into sackings also deserves recognition.

'Ollie' received the backing of Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish in October 2013 despite the newly-promoted side having won only one Premier League game.

Only 20 days later and Holloway had left by mutual consent after less than a year in charge.

But the turnaround at Holloway's most recent club Millwall was even more efficient - backed by the club on 27 February this year only to be sacked on 10 March.

The BBC has learned that Sepp Blatter will try and stay on as Fifa president - even if he is found guilty by Fifa’s ethics committee.

Blatter is facing a potential lengthy ban from football but friends of the suspended president have told BBC he is adamant only the 209 member associations of Fifa can dismiss him.

Blatter won a fifth consecutive presidential term in May this year but, in the wake of US and Swiss criminal investigations, announced four days later that he would “lay down” his mandate and call for a fresh election.

A ballot to appoint a new president is due to be held in Zurich on February 26.

Jurors in the trial of former New Zealand cricket captain Chris Cairns have retired to consider their verdicts.

Cairns, 45, faces perjury and perverting the course of justice allegations after the retired cricket star successfully sued Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi for accusing him of match fixing on Twitter in 2010.

The libel case netted Cairns £90,000, but he allegedly lied to the court when he said he had "never, ever cheated at cricket".

The all-rounder is also said to have perverted the course of justice by inducing fellow cricketer Lou Vincent to provide a false witness statement during a Skype call.

Cairns' friend and "legal adviser", barrister Andrew Fitch-Holland, 50, of Burton Road, Manchester, is also accused of perverting the course of justice. Both men deny the charges.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has confirmed that there will still be fan zones during Euro 2016 despite recent attacks which left 130 dead in Paris.

"The tragedy of November 13, which took place in part in the vicinity of a sports venue (the Stade de France), forces us to take the necessary measures to ensure the event takes place in the best conditions," Cazeneuve said.

"Everyone is mobilised. We'll do everything in our power to ensure that everything takes place in the best conditions and that the fan zones can be organised.

"The organisation of these fan areas are the subject of ongoing assessments that will lead us to update or change our plan of action."
