LOAN: Birmingham defender joins United

Carlisle United are delighted to welcome left-back Mitchell Roberts on a half-season loan deal from Championship side Birmingham City.

Roberts, 21, is an academy graduate with the Midlands club and gained valuable experience with a half-season loan stay with Harrogate through the second half of last season, where he made four appearances.

He played for his parent club in their Carabao Cup meeting with Fulham in August, and made his Championship debut against Reading at St Andrew’s in November.

We'll have more reaction to this loan move on the official website later today.
