Carlisle boss Abbott happy counting on Man Utd fullback Joe Dudgeon

Carlisle United are delighted with their loan capture of Manchester United fullback Joe Dudgeon.

Dudgeon has also represented Northern Ireland at U21 level.

Greg Abbott said: "We've been looking at Joe ever since the injury to Sean McDaid happened, and we had actually watched him before that as one that we might try to follow up in the future.

"He will come in and provide real competition for that left back spot as he is another very good young player. Manchester United speak very highly of him and he has been solid and shown ability in the games that we have seen him play.

"He's the type of person and player that we want to add to the squad so we're delighted that he is joining us."
