Carlisle United Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of striker Charlie Wyke on a two-year deal.
Wyke, 31, came through the youth ranks with Middlesbrough and enjoyed loan spells with Kettering, Hartlepool and Wimbledon following the signing of a three-year professional deal at the Riverside in 2011.
He spent the first four months of the 2014/15 season on loan at Hartlepool where he scored four goals in his 14 appearances before he made the move to Brunton Park.
He scored 39 goals in his 89 appearances with the Blues before making the move to Bradford. From there, he moved back to the north-east when he joined Sunderland.
He had a successful time at the Stadium of Light, and scored 31 goals in 54 games during the 2020/21 season.
He then had spells with Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United and joins the Blues on the back of nine goals in 34 appearances for both clubs last season.
Manager Paul Simpson said: "As you can imagine, I'm absolutely delighted to get Charlie back into the club.
"It's something that has been talked about for a while. We tried to get him to come to us in January but he wanted to stay at the highest level he could and ended up going to the Championship.
"We've been talking on and off during summer, but like all players, Charlie wanted to wait and see what other offers he got. It was clear there were other clubs at a higher level who were keen but he is excited to come back and help take us forward again. We're delighted to have him in with us.
"Everyone can see from his record that he is a proven goal scorer and we're all really looking forward to working with him."
Charlie will wear squad number 10.
The move is subject to ratification from the FA and EFL.
