Billy Barr to stay at Brunton Park

Billy Barr

Carlisle United Football Club are delighted to confirm that Billy Barr will remain at Brunton Park as first-team coach for the 2024/25 season.

Barr, 55, rejoined the coaching staff in February after previously working with Paul Simpson. He made over 100 appearances for United between 1997 – 2000.

Manager Paul Simpson said: “It’s good news that Billy is staying. I was really impressed with his work last season, he’s very meticulous with his planning and he’s got a really good analytical eye.

“He added something extra to the group last year although results didn’t go how we wanted them to, but the things I was seeing in the coaching office off the grass were good, and Billy was a big part of that.

"I’m delighted he’s decided to stay with us."
