Carlisle United have signed Sheffield United goalkeeper Marcus Dewhurst on loan until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the Blades, and has had previous loan spells with Gainsborough Trinity and Guiseley.

"We thought it was important to bring in a goalkeeper to cover us for any potential injuries," head coach Chris Beech told the Carlisle website.

"We're also bringing in a goalkeeper who is very ambitious."
