Carlisle United have re-signed striker Charlie Wyke on a two-year contract.

The forward, 31, scored seven goals in 18 league appearances for Wigan Athletic last season before joining Rotherham United on loan in February.

Wyke will be re-joining the Cumbrians, having already made 89 appearances in all competitions for the club before departing for Bradford City in 2017.

"As you can imagine, I'm absolutely delighted to get Charlie back into the club," manager Paul Simpson told .

"Everyone can see from his record that he is a proven goalscorer and we're all really looking forward to working with him."

Wyke suffered a cardiac arrest during training in 2021 and has been part of a campaign to encourage more people to learn CPR.
