Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong to join Carlisle United
Harrogate Town’s Luke Armstrong will join Carlisle United on a permanent transfer.
Armstrong, 27, will sign for the Cumbrian side on January 1, 2024.
In a joint statement, both clubs said the striker will leave Harrogate with immediate effect and begin training with Carlisle pending the opening of the transfer window.
The statement said:
The move comes as a planned transfer for Armstrong to join Wrexham in the summer fell through.
The English Football League rejected a a deadline day deal between the clubs for the 27-year-old after it said the Welsh side failed to submit paperwork on time.
Wrexham apologised to Harrogate after it was “unable to complete the transfer by the deadline”.
Armstrong, who scored 31 goals in 116 appearances for Harrogate, will now join Carlisle who currently sit in the bottom four of League One.
